Syntax
Blocks:
A Tumblr {block:} tag
- Posts:

<h1>Title</h1>
{/block:Posts}
Variables:
A Tumblr {variable} tag. Can be interpolated within text.
h1= Title
p Content: #{content}
<h1>{Title}</h1>

Tags:
HTML tags can be rendered in several different ways.

#content Content
.footer Footer
footer(name: "bottom") Footer #2
meta(name: "description", content: description)/
<h1>Title</h1>
<h2 class="subtitle">Subtitle</h2>
<div id="content">Content</div>
<div class="footer">Footer</div>
<footer name="bottom">Footer #2</footer>

Text:
All characters following a tag are treated as text
h1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
<h1>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</h1>
Tags followed by a dot (.) will make all following indented text into a text string.
#content.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi consequat odio nec magna fermentum, sit amet placerat nisl fringilla.
<div id="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi consequat odio nec magna fermentum, sit amet placerat nisl fringilla.</div>
