An example from the core:

magento/magento2/blob/2.0.0/app/code/Magento/AdminNotification/view/adminhtml/layout/adminhtml_notification_index.xml#L10-L14


<body>
    <referenceContainer name="content">
        <block class="Magento\AdminNotification\Block\Inbox" name="adminhtml.notification.container"/>
    </referenceContainer>
</body>

Another example with a template:

github.com

magento/magento2/blob/2.0.0/app/code/Magento/Catalog/view/frontend/layout/catalog_product_gallery.xml#L15-L17


<referenceContainer name="content">
    <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Gallery" name="catalog_product_gallery" template="product/gallery.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
