Perhaps you are talking about something equivalent to Django blocks?
We do not have that.
We have other ways to do a similar thing. There are two basic things
you can do:
1) Extending
#extedened.html
<html><body>{{include}}</body></html>
#extending.html
{{extends 'extended.html'}}<h1>Hello<h1>
2) Including
#including.html
<html><body>{{include 'body.html'}}</body></html>
#body.html
<h1>Hello<h1>
And you can mix and match.
You can also pass functions to the extended function
Extending
#extedened.html
<html><body><h1>{{header()}}</h1>{{include}}<h1>{{footer()}}</h1></
body></html>
#extending.html
{{def header():}}This is the header{{return}}
{{def footer():}}This is the footer{{return}}
{{extends 'extended.html'}}<h1>Hello<h1>
and you can do these things in a try ... except to have a default:
<html><body><h1>{{try: header()}}{{except:}}default{{pass}}</h1>
{{include}}<h1>{{footer()}}</h1></body></html>
