What is the difference between block content and include?

Referring to pug templates. It seems that you are doing the same thing with block content and include. So, why not just use block content exclusively?

Hey Mark! I personally don't know the Pug templating language just yet, but I found this thread on Stack Overflow that should answer your question. Pug used to be Jade, so the first answer SHOULD be relevant. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14170537/difference-between-include-and-block-in-jade
