f:section

A Section is similar to a Partial. The difference is that Partials are separate files, where Sections are defined within the same template file.

    <td>{employee.first_name}</td>
    <td>{employee.city}</td>
  </tr>
</f:section>

<f:alias map="{employees: {0: {first_name: 'Stefan', city: 'Lindlar'},1: {first_name: 'Petra', city: 'Lindlar'},2: {first_name: 'Sascha', city: 'Remscheid'},3: {first_name: 'Patrick', city: 'Bonn'},4: {first_name: 'Sven', city: 'Gummersbach'},5: {first_name: 'Andrea', city: 'Wuppertal'}}}">
  <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="2">
    <f:for each="{employees}" as="employee">
      <f:render section="TableRow" arguments="{employee: employee}"/>
    </f:for>
  </table>
</f:alias>

As you can see, we've defined a Section to contain the content of a table row. Then we've passed the employee data to this section on each iteration in the loop, to output the same HTML each time but containing the individual employee information.
