For a Template library that is more actively developed than Collin's (linked by predrag.music) try out mine:

https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-template

His is good but this supports modules, themes, mobile version variations of themes and plenty more.

Some people will create a master template, then pass the sub content's view name in the data object. The master template will call the header view, footer view, etc, and use the data array to dynamically display the correct sub content view.

This question gives some explanation to the method dqhendricks describes. It includes code examples showing how to use $this->load->view() to return the view to a variable instead of outputting it to the browser, how to include sub-views, and using a specific view as your main template. It's the best way I've found of handling view logic. Getting the hang of CodeIgniter - Templating / loading views

If you need something for the reference this one is good:

you could use inheritance chaining (with a custom controller class or with an included extra class that extends controller that you extend from your controllers instead of the controller class) to make a common controller hub for all pages that has a method for the top stuff, and a method for the bottom stuff.
