  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.
