What I'm trying to do is get the view content fragment to include its contents into the base.html layout, but I want it to replace that div, and only display the 3 section tags, and not the div as the parent element.
I'm not getting any errors as it is, but instead of <div th:replace="${view} :: content"></div>
becoming those 3 section tags, it turns into <div><section>...</section><section>...</section><section>...</section></div>
. I want it to just be <section>...</section><section>...</section><section>...</section>
. Maybe I misunderstood the documentation for replace, but I understood that it should replace the div with the content of the fragment.
Here is the layout file, base.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout">
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
<!--main menu-->
<!-- Static navbar -->
<header class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-default navbar-fixed-top navbar-transparent">
...
</header>
<!--end main menu-->
<div th:replace="${view} :: content"></div>
<footer>
...
</footer>
</body>
</html>
Here is the view file, default/view.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout">
<body>
<div th:fragment="content">
<section>
...
</section>
<section>
...
</section>
<section>
...
</section>
</div>
</body>
</html>
