Nesting layouts #115

Closed itsgoofer closed 8 years ago

itsgoofer commented 9 years ago

Is there a way to nest a layout inside of another? For example:

default.hsb
-- postLayoout.hbs
---- {{{body}}}

Thanks in advance.

Not that's built into this package. You'd have to do this manually using partials and/or block helpers.

itsgoofer commented 9 years ago

The postLayout.hbs has some specific UI elements just for a page that has a post. So, the article would be yield in that postLayout. The postLayout then would be yield in the default layout (the actual page with the doctype, header and footer
