# Using include in templates

Oftentimes we need to break up our layout into smaller parts so that we can just include those smaller parts to compose a page. The **include** directive is just for that purpose.

Create **views\header.dt** and extract from **views\mainlayout.dt** this line:

```
h2 Welcome to our not so simple site
```

Then create **views\navbar.dt** and extract from **views\mainlayout.dt** this content:

```html
ul
  li <a href="/">Home</a>
  li <a href="/about">About us</a>
  li <a href="/events">Events</a>
  li <a href="/contact">Contact us</a>
  li <a href="/helloagain">Hello again!</a>
```

Then create **views\footer.dt** and extract from **views\mainlayout.dt** this line:

```
p Copyright 2022 Notsosimple Company
```

So what's left with **views\mainlayout.dt** is this:

```
html
  head
    title Demo site
  body
    header
      include header.dt
    nav
      include navbar.dt
    article
      block content
    footer
      include footer.dt
```

Compile, run and refresh the browser. If you see no changes, you did good again.<br>
