[DSC 2 - Write and compile a DSC Configuration]The example should include Example(configuration name) at the end of the configuration example

[Smoovsky]

The example should include Example(configuration name) at the end of the configuration example.

Current:

Configuration Example {
    # Import the module that contains the Registry DSC Resource.
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName PSDscResources

    # The Registry DSC Resource can ensure the state of registry keys
    Registry DscTest {
        Key       = 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\DscTest'
        ValueName = 'Example'
        Ensure    = 'Present'
        ValueData = 'Test Value'
        ValueType = 'String'
    }
}

Proposed:

Configuration Example {
    # Import the module that contains the Registry DSC Resource.
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName PSDscResources

    # The Registry DSC Resource can ensure the state of registry keys
    Registry DscTest {
        Key       = 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\DscTest'
        ValueName = 'Example'
        Ensure    = 'Present'
        ValueData = 'Test Value'
        ValueType = 'String'
    }
}

Example

Without the configuration name at the end, the configuration won't be compiled when you call the script.

Also I'm not sure if the doc should clarify that you can define multiple configurations in one file and just include names of all configuration at the end and calling the script will result in all configurations to be compiled at once.
