Layout Sections provide the ability to inject content into areas of the HTML outside of the Layout template. They support DotLiquid but do not have a model available. The layout sections that are available are
\~/Views/LayoutSections/HeadStart.liquid - will be injected immediately after the \<head> tag in the page
\~/Views/LayoutSections/HeadEnd.liquid - will be injected immediately before \</head> tag in the page
\~/Views/LayoutSections/BodyStart.liquid - will be injected immediately after \<body> tag in the page
\~/Views/LayoutSections/BodyEnd.liquid - will be injected immediately after \</body> tag in the page
A Google Analytics code snippet is an example of when you'd use a Layout Section. The snippet for Google Analytics needs to exist at the top of the \<head> tag. However, in this particular example, Google Analytics is already supported by <<product-name>> using the **Analytics** settings in the Admin Console: **Administration** \> **System** \> **Settings** \> **System Settings** \> **Analytics** section.
