    Block modifier syntax:

    CSS attributes can be applied to blocks (paragraphs, headers, etc.). CSS classes are specifed with "(class)"; CSS IDs are specified with "(#id)"; both can be specified with "(class#id)". An arbtirary CSS style can be applied by using "{style}". Finally, language attributes are applied using "[language]".

    Additionally, alignment and indentation shorthands are provided. To left-align, right-align, center, and justify text, use "<", ">", "=", and "<>", respectively. "(" left-indents a block 1em for each occurrence, and ")" right-indents similarly.

    Tables have additional options. "^", "-", and "~" specify top, middle, and bottom vertical alignment. The "_" attribute on a cell indicates that it is a table header.

    The examples below illustrate these attributes.

  • Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
  • Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.

  • The Views module allows administrators to create dynamic lists of content for display in pages or blocks. It is also possible to insert those lists into existing node bodies, but such inclusion requires that PHP filtering be turned on. This module allows any user to insert view listings using tag syntax, without the need for PHP execution permissions.

    [view:my view]
    will be replaced by the full listing of content defined by that view. 
    [view:my view=10]
    will limit the listing to 10 items.
