 ## File Structure
 
-A Whisker source file's `body` is a repeated pattern of textual content, variable interpolations, and control flow constructs (condition, iteration).
+A Whisker source file is composed of two sections: a leading `header` followed by the main `body`.
 
-The source file's `body` is wrapped by a leading `header`, and a trailing `footer`. The rest of this document describes the contents of the `body`.
