Question

I am using the framework Play 2.0 with Java
I have some html

<div>my html</div>

in a file test.html

Is there anyway I can access the html in another file (say main.html)?
Maybe through some global variable

I tried to surround my html with

@variable{<div>my html</div>}

Then access it from main.html using

@variable

But this didn’t work…

Any ideas?

Templates are basically functions as stated in the link that szegedi mentioned.
I think what you want is called tags in Play. Basically you have a file with some HTML: let’s say a progress bar:

@(progressPercentage : Int) // define input params for this view/function

<div class="progress progress-success progress-striped active">
    <div class="bar" style="width: @progressPercentage%;">@progressPercentage%</div>
</div>

The file above is called progress.sacala.html and save in views.tags.graphs

The you can access or call this piece of HTML by entering the following in one of your views:

@tags.graphs.progress(yourPercentageVar)

Of course you can do it without passing any variable, but I thought it would be nice to include the vars as well. Good luck!
