I am using the latest version of thymeleaf page layouts.
I want to use the title pattern $CONTENT_TITLE - $LAYOUT_TITLE for all my pages. Therefore, I created the following layout and content files.
My layout.html file looks like
<!doctype html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org" xmlns:layout="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title layout:title-pattern="$CONTENT_TITLE - $LAYOUT_TITLE">My Company Name</title>
<!-- some scripts and styles --->
</head>
<body>
<!-- some content --->
</body>
</html>
My content.html looks like
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
layout:decorate="~{layout.html}">
<head>
<title>
<th:block th:if="${meta.pageTitle}" th:text="${meta.pageTitle}"></th:block>
</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- some content --->
</body>
</html>
If the content page gets Newsletter as value for the property pageTitle and I call the content page in my browser, I get the correct result:
<title>Newsletter - My Company Name</title>
If my content page does not have a title, I only want to display the $LAYOUT_TITLE in my <title> tag without the leading separator -. Howerver, with my code I get
<title>- My Company Name</title>
What I want is
<title>My Company Name</title>
How can I achieve that in a simple way? As far as I know, I cant use the $CONTENT_TITLE in the layout.html and check if it is empty, or can I?
