How to define a html subtemplate inside a PlayFramework view?

From a master html template I'm calling #{doLayout} which renders my view html. I'd like to call a custom html template as well such as #{happyHeader} which I'd like to define inside my view html file. Something like this:

<html>
  <body>
    #{happyHeader}
    <hr/>
    #{doLayout}
  </body>
</html>

And in my index.html have something like this:

<p>My happy doLayout main content here</p>
#{define happyHeader}
  <h1>Nice header</h1>
#{/}

I've looked around StackOverflow and couldn't find a similar question, and neither do the custom template solutions in the Play Framework docs seem to cover this.

You do this with #{set} and #{get}.

You set the value in your index.html like this:

#{set 'happyHeader'}
  <h1>Nice header</h1>
#{/set}

And you get it in your main.html like this:

#{get 'happyHeader' /}
