Laravel Blade - yield inside section

Question

I'm trying to yield a section inside another section. But this does not work as expected, I see blank output.

@section('3show')
        This is a text string
@stop

@section('page-content')

<div id="content">
    <article>

        @yield('3show')

    </article>
</div>
<!--#content-->


@stop

Any ideas to yield section inside another section ?

Ok, this is what I tried and I can confirm that this works, at least for Laravel 5+ (I have L5.2). This is how I suggest you to use your blade templates.

Lets start saying that to yield a section into another section you have to define your included section before container section definition. So, with that clear, I solved this situation like this:

I got a main blade (main.blade.php) template which has something like:

<section class="content">
 <!-- Your Page Content Here -->
 @yield('main-content')
</section><!-- /.content -->

I got a second blade (common.blade.php) template which has that common stuff you may want to show across many pages and where main-content section is defined. This one looks like:

@section('main-content')
  <div class="container">
    @yield('extra-content')
  </div>
@endsection

Finally I got a 3rd template (test.blade.php) which extend the main template and include the common stuff I want to show, but be careful because the order matters. This one looks like:

@extends('main')
@section('extra-content')
  <div>
    <span> This is a test! </span>
  </div>
@endsection
@include('common')

In your controller or your route (wherever you return your view), you should return the 3rd template.
