extend and include templates

How to extends a template from a layout or include a partial in our template ?

@mostafasolati The .ego files generate functions so you can call that function from within another template. If you need your template to wrap then you can include a closure as an argument.

For example, if you had a template.ego file:

<%! func writeTemplateTo(w io.Writer, yield func()) error %>

HEADER
<% yield() %>
FOOTER

And you have your content page called mypage.ego:

<%! func (tmpl *MyPage) WriteTo(w io.Writer) error %>

<% writeTemplateTo(w, func() { %>
CONTENT
<% } %>

Then you execute:

var buf bytes.Buffer
var tmpl MyPage
tmpl.WriteTo(&buf)

println(buf.String())

then you should see something like:

HEADER
CONTENT
FOOTER
