 A layout can optionally reference one or more *sections*, by calling `RenderSection`. Sections provide a way to organize where certain page elements should be placed. Each call to `RenderSection` can specify whether that section is required or optional:
 
 ```html
-@section Scripts {
-    @RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)
-}
+<script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/global.js"></script>
+
+@RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)
 ```
 
 If a required section isn't found, an exception is thrown. Individual views specify the content to be rendered within a section using the `@section` Razor syntax. If a page or view defines a section, it must be rendered (or an error will occur).
