Hello, I'm wondering if there is a way to nest layouts. I see in the express-hbsengine you can have something like the following:

layouts/site.hbs

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <!-- common head things -->
  </head>
  <body>
    {{{body}}}
  </body>
</html>

layouts/with-header-footer.hbs

{{!< site }} {{!-- here's the magic --}}
<header class="site-header">...</header>
{{{body}}}
<footer class="site-footer">...</footer>

In layouts/with-header-footer.hbs, the {{!< site }} means you get everything also wrapped in the site layout. This approach helps to DRY things up when your site uses multiple layouts. Is something like this currently available? Is there a better approach?

I would like to see this feature as well!

Me too, although maybe there is a way of editing the helper functions inside https://github.com/pillarjs/hbs/tree/master/examples/extend to accommodate this feature?

I would also like to see an example of using a default block with the above example, if possible.

To update, Jinja2 (a python templating engine) has a brilliant template inheritance system. Details in the jinja2 docs.
