I put my ejs template file in views folder like: views | |–foo.html |

I put my ejs template file in views folder like:

views
|
|--foo.html
|
|--layout.html

so I config my ejs template:

app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);

I render my foo template by this:

res.render('foo.html', {title: 'test'});

I want use layout.html as the master layout template, I also add <%- body%> tag in layout.html, but is doesn’t work, what I saw is only return the ended foo.html.

Why the layout.html can’t be the master layout?Or how can I set it to the master layout?

    Ahah you just got tricked by Express 3 change in layout management.
    The official example: https://github.com/visionmedia/express/tree/master/examples/ejs
    Has not been updated.

    In Jade you now have to use blocks and extend the layout.
