description: A triple-backtick block that can render widgets, queries, or syntax-highlighted code.

tags: glossary

Blocks use the fenced code block notation of Markdown, and assign special behavior to it.

The general syntax is:

```language
block configuration
```

These are the block types that ship with SilverBullet, but Plugs can define their own:

• space-lua: Space Lua
• space-style: Space Style

The fenced code block syntax is also used to get Markdown/Syntax Highlighting for numerous programming languages.
