Sections are much like pages. They are blocks of content that do not stand alone and must be included in pages. If a page template supports sections, a dropdown box will appear at the bottom of the edit page, prompting you to enter the section to use with that page.

Additionally, a section can be included in the content area of any page by placing the section "slug" between two sets of curley braces. The slug is the name of the section with puncuation removed and spaces replaced by dashes (-). For example if you section is named "Directions & Location", it will be written as directions--location inside two sets of curley braces.
