Genshi templates - header/footer templates, and including templates.
How to include a Genshi template inside of another genshi template? Use "py:match" inside the template you want to include into other pages (eg. a sitelayout.html). Then you can use "xi:include" in the pages you want the files included in. (eg. best_picture_of_my_cat_today.html) Now, it's not a "simple include this template here" kind of thing. The py:match can find various parts of the file, and then replace them how they like. For example, a page layout template will match the header and footer with "py:match". It is best explained with examples, and in the documentation: pylons genshi example Includes section of the genshi documentation where it explains "xi:include". Genshi documentation where it explains py:match . Hopefully this explains the genshi way of including a template into a template.
