synopsis

BLOCKDEF creates block metatags, which is a fancy way of saying it creates new block tags. A block tag is a tag that takes a whole block as implicit parameter. This block is surounded by the start and end tag. The contents of this block are automatically stored in the block macro named BLOCK.

For example:

  <BLOCKDEF NAME="SECTION" OPTION="TITLE">
   <h1><USE TITLE></h1>
   <P class="section">
     <USE BLOCK>
   <P>
  </BLOCKDEF>

  <SECTION TITLE="My Section">
    This is a fancy section.
  </SECTION>

A more thorough discussion and more elaborate examples are discussed in the metatag section.
