The inline filter is used to pass a section of text directly to a target documentation system.

The expand parameter can be used to request expansion of SDF expressions (enclosed in [[ and ]]) within the text.

!endblock

SDF expressions can be expand like this:

!define VERB "is"
...
!block inline; expand
<P>
This HTML [[VERB]] expanded.
!endblock
