Smarty Master Pages

How can I create Master Pages like in ASP.NET using PHP and Smarty?

I want to have several content place holders in the master page and simply fill them with almost big HTML chunks. So I'm looking for a better approach than what I currently have.

$content =<<< eol
    <div id="home">
        <img src="images/jon.jpg" id="left-image" />
    </div>
eol;

$smarty->assign('content', $content);
$smarty->display('index.tpl');

U want to use template inheritance:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>{block name=title}Default Page Title{/block}</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        {block name=body}{/block}
    </body>
</html>

mypage.tpl

{extends file="layout.tpl"}
{block name=title}My Page Title{/block}
{block name=body}My HTML Page Body goes here{/block}

output of mypage.tpl

<html>
    <head>
        <title>My Page Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
