Powering-up Special Blocks
summary
Defines a macro that generates both Org special blocks and matching link types from one declaration, producing backend templates for defblock (author, color defaults, contents/raw-contents) so HTML, LaTeX/PDF and org-reveal exports share the same appearance. Blocks compose as string-valued functions via thread block, support multi-column layout with parallel, and run pre-processing on export. Example definition fits in about six lines, documentation is ~48 pages, package is on MELPA; syntax highlighting in some exports remains unresolved.
