  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.

• You may link to files uploaded with the current node using special tags. The tags will be replaced by the corresponding files. For example: Suppose you uploaded three files (in this order):

  • imag1.png (referred as file #1)
  • file1.pdf (referred as file #2)
  • imag2.png (referred as file #3)

  [inline_upload|file=1|title=test]  or  [inline_upload|file=imag1.png|title=test]

  will be replaced by <img src=imag1.png alt=test>
