Template inheritance
====================

[](#template-inheritance)

What is template inheritance? Template inheritance is an elegant way to make and compose reusable HTML layouts in a web application. It is much more powerful than traditional "include" (bad) practice (like include a header and footer file).

With Mozaiku, you can implement template inheritance simply using plain PHP language. There is no need to learn another template language.

Having a main template, you can conceptually define a "child" view that extends the main layout. This means that it will have the same general appearance as the layout, but will redefine some sections with its own content. In other words, in the child view, you only need to redefine the sections you want to change with respect to the theme (section override) and the whole page will inherit all the rest of the content from the "parent" theme.
