Hi, Try using macros with Freemaker[1]. I think you can do the same with Velocity. The child page re-defines the macro. Its not quite as elegant as true template inheritance as found in some other template libraries eg[2]
You could probably do something simular with the jsp include directive.[3] HTH Ian 1 http://freemarker.624813.n4.nabble.com/Fwd-template-inheritance-for-freemarker-td2296583.html 2 http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/ 3 http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/syntaxref1214.html On 8 September 2012 11:50, Günther Schmidt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm just giving Sling another try, as a cms, since I don't want to use > wordpress, joomla or any of the others. > Getting the hang of sling is gonna cost me some time in any case but there's > one thing I'm wondering about upfront: > > Does sling allow to build basic templates, so that I do not need to write > the main, ie. outer html every time? > > I'd just like to have one single outer html file for let's say a list and a > detail view. > > Günther
