Blocks are similar to sections as they can contain a collection of statements, blocks, and also sections. However, unlike Sections, blocks work in a similar way to statements because they are reusable and you can assign variables.
The following table describes the features and benefits to using and previewing blocks:

Tags can only be added when the block is in edit mode. However, after the tag is
created, the tag appears underneath the block when editing a document.
You can nest sections within blocks and blocks within blocks. When nesting, pay special
attention to where you are in the block. You can get oriented within the nested content
by finding the top level block.
