--- title: Capture blocks --- # Capture Blocks Capture blocks let you redirect the output of a template to a variable. For example the following causes the content of the capture block to be rendered to a string and stored in the variable `userNameParagraph`. ```markup {{#capture var userNameParagraph}}

Model.UserName

{{/capture}} ``` This variable can then be used elsewhere in the template: ```markup {{userNameParagraph}} ``` Capture blocks can also be used to pass additional content to an outer layout by storing additional content on the model object: ```markup {{#capture model.userScripts}} {{/capture}} ``` The layout file might then look something like this: ```markup {{#if model.userScripts}} {{{model.userScripts}}} {{/if>}} {{{model.body}}} ```
