== Description ==
Blocks are reusable pieces of text. Once a block type is defined with <code>\defineblock[''name'']</code>, the blocks can be defined (with or without displaying them) using <code>\begin''name''[''tags'']</code> ... <code>\end''name''</code>. (Yes, that is <code>\begin...</code> and <code>\end...</code>, not <code>\start...</code> and <code>\stop...</code>.) There are a number of commands to display all or some of the blocks defined in the document; see the See Also section for a list with descriptions.
== Example ==
<context source=yes text="This gives:>
\defineblock[question]
\hideblocks[question] % We don't want to print blocks where we define them
\beginquestion[first]
To be, or not to be?
\endquestion
