Text block modifier syntax

Block modifier syntax:

CSS attributes can be applied to blocks (paragraphs, headers, etc.). CSS classes are specified with (class); CSS IDs are specified with (#id); both can be specified with (class#id). An arbitrary 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.
