A template is a partial GSP or a fragment of a GSP. It's intended to be reused. Just like any other GSP it belongs in the grails-app/views/ directory structure. All templates have a filename that begins with an underscore _. So in your example the template would be: grails-app/views/render/_renderDemo.gsp.

I highly recommend you read the official documentation on views and templates that explains why you would use a template as well as providing you with even more details about templates in general.
