The [blocks] shortcode, developed as part of #61 has multiple uses.
We need to extend the ad-hoc usage... where the block type names are passed to the block, to make it easier to create documentation about Transforms, Nested blocks and other stuff.
This issue has been raised to discuss the short and long options.
Short term
[ ] To use the [blocks] shortcode to reference new, changed or deleted blocks
[ ] To link to related blocks for Transform
[ ] To link to related blocks for Nesting
[ ] Ad hoc linking to an individual block.
The style of the list to be displayed depends on the context.
Unordered list of links
Simple ( inline ) list of comma separated links using the block's Title attribute only
More often than not we won't want to display the block's thumbnail.
And we don't yet want to display the block's icon since it's not available in the server.
Long term
In the longer term we might be able to automate quite a few of these lists.
Changes between plugins versions should be detectable
Transform and nesting information should be available from the block registration.
