what I've done so far is this,But obviously it's not working. I want to use this header and footer in all the pages, how to make a shared layout and use it in other pages?? I have given the picture as well as the codes. Please help me with a sample code of an html page which is using the main_layout.html.
Since I'm very new to Thymeleaf there maybe stupid mistakes in the code.
Than you in advance.

Here is the Header, footer and the layout if anyone wants to edit and post.
The index is also given here , where i'm using the layout. but the output comes like as I'm showing in the 2nd image. And whatever I'm writing inside the index page as the content, nothing shows in the output.
