The two way of defining the blade are template inheritance and section. Both are good to use. I like the section uses. I am just giving some example for that. It is basically good to know the uses for that. Almost all page of web application used the same layout . that is called innner layout and home layout. It is better to define those kind of layout at your web apps. giving you the single blade view.
<!-- Stored in resources/views/layouts/innermaster.blade.php -->
<html>
<head>
<title>App Name - @yield('title')</title>
</head>
<body>
@section('sidebar')
This is the master sidebar.
@show
<div class="container">
@yield('content')
</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see on the above example there is HTML mark up. However, remember the @section and @yield directives, @section is for section of content and @yield directives is for contents of given section
