Currently we can set defines in themes/customtheme/layouts/_default/single.html
like:
{{ define "title" }}
<!-- some title -->
{{ end }}
{{ define "main" }}
<!-- main content -->
{{ end }}
to use the baseof.html
blocks, but if I want to just redefine the title block I would need to copy the entire single.html
file into /layouts/_default/single.html
losing track of updates of the original theme.
A better approach would be to be able to just set the title block in my site /layouts/_default/single.html
and use the rest of the blocks defined in the original themes/customtheme/layouts/_default/single.html
.
The way it works now, if I just set the title block in my site single.html
, the theme’s single.html
isn’t read.
This way it could be possible to define placeholders in themes like:
{{ block "before_content" . }}{{end}}
...
{{ block "after_content" . }}{{end}}
and make it easier to extend each theme specific part without losing track of their future updates and favour contribution to them.
