As with the core snippet, indentation makes a difference. The component headers (`mqtt:`) should be fully left aligned (aka no indent), and the parameters (`broker:`) should be indented two (2) spaces.
While some of these components can technically be moved to a separate file they are so small or "one off's" where splitting them off is superfluous. Also, you'll notice the # symbol (hash/pound). This represents a "comment" as far as the commands are interpreted. Put another way, any line prefixed with a `#` will be ignored. This makes breaking up files for human readability really convenient, not to mention turning off features while leaving the entry intact. (Look at the `zigbee:` entry above and the b entry further down)

This small example illustrates how the "split" files work. In this case, we start with a "comment block" identifying the file followed by two (2) device tracker entries (`owntracks` and `nmap`). These files follow ["style 1"](/getting-started/devices/#style-2-list-each-device-separately) that is to say a fully left aligned leading entry (`- platform: owntracks`) followed by the parameter entries indented two (2) spaces.
