Use a Thymeleaf template without including the fragment definition element?
Let's say I have two Thymeleaf templates:
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<header>foo</header>
<section>
<div th:replace="fragments/main :: content"></div>
</section>
<footer>bar</footer>
</body>
</html>
fragments/main.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div th:fragment="content">
<p>This is the main content.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How do I prevent Tymeleaf from including the div that defines the fragment in the composited output? That is, how do I get Thymleaf to generate the following output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<header>foo</header>
<section>
<p>This is the main content.</p>
</section>
<footer>bar</footer>
</body>
</html>
Instead of:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<header>foo</header>
<section>
<div>
<p>This is the main content.</p>
</div>
</section>
<footer>bar</footer>
</body>
</html>
Answer
Use th:remove="tag". (documentation)
fragments/main.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div th:fragment="content" th:remove="tag">
<p>This is the main content.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
