I had a similar problem and a nice person in the IRC channel pointed me at the Django-like template inheritance helper (found here).

Say if you have a view called 'base.php' with:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;Wooshy -  &lt;? start_block_marker('title') ?&gt;Home&lt;? end_block_marker() ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<h1>&lt;? start_block_marker('heading') ?&gt;Home&lt;? end_block_marker() ?&gt;</h1>

<ul id="navigation">

    <li>&lt;?=anchor('/','Home')?&gt;</li>

    <li>&lt;?=anchor('/about','About')?&gt;</li>

</ul>

&lt;? start_block_marker('content') ?&gt;

    <h2>Welcome</h2>

    <p>Filler</p>

&lt;? end_block_marker() ?&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

and in your 'about.php' view you have:

Code:
&lt;?php

extend('base.php');

startblock('title');

echo $title;

endblock();

startblock('heading');

echo $heading;

endblock();

startblock('content');

echo "<p>Some text</p>"

endblock();

end_extend();

?&gt;

You can simply load the 'about.php' view and it will automatically inherit the html from base.php.

Code:
$vars['title'] = "About us";

$vars['heading'] = "All about our nice team";

$this->load->view('about.php',$vars);

Nice or what Smile

Hope this may help.
