README

Block is a placement system that can be implemented in places where it is not possible to safely parse server-side language syntax directly, such as within the page content. It can usually be written just like normal HTML elements, but with custom enclosing characters. Each block can then be converted into something else via server-side language.

We no longer recommend the use of the block feature. There are many other alternatives that can provide backward-compatible solutions, such as using HTML comments or Emoji characters, in the hope that if you decide to remove certain block features in the future, your content data will still be convenient to consume since raw block elements do not appear in the page content. This can minimize the need to maintain pages, especially the old ones that you no longer want to touch.

The purpose of maintaining this extension is to demonstrate that Mecha has the capability to provide this kind of feature. This does not mean that you should use it.
