ContentBlock locked

Content Block print pdf
A ContentBlock is contained in a structured page that uses a ContentTemplate..

A ContentBlock is often a <div> in HTML and XML.

Since a ContentBlock may in turn use a ContentTemplate, there can be an infinite recursion of containers.

Blocks are sometimes called boxes or slots or a Portlet, when they may include a mini application (an applet or Flash).

When a ContentBlock contains a single piece of elementary content (a simple link, text, an image, audio, video, a piece of metadata like author, title, etc.), we call it a ContentElement.

The ContentElement, sometimes called MicroContent, encourages ReUse.
