Thymeleaf templates – Is there a way to decorate a template instead of including a template fragment?

Question

with Thymeleaf 2.1, you can write something like that:

Create the template (for ex. templates/layout.html), and add the th:fragment=”page” information in html tag and define the content area with th:include=”this :: content” information:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
      th:fragment="page">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
        <title>Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        layout page
        <div th:include="this :: content"/>
        layout footer
    </body>
</html>

Now create the page that will include this template adding th:include=”templates/layout :: page” in html tag and put your main content inside a div with th:fragment=”content”

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
      th:include="templates/layout :: page">
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div th:fragment="content">
            my page content
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

In layout page you can use this (th:include=”this :: content”) or suppress this option (th:include=”:: content”). It seems like jsf facelets I think.
