From the most restrictive environment to the least one:
- example block :: Indentation, blank lines (excepted at the beginning
and the end of the block) and line breaks are
preserved. No Org syntax whatsoever is recognized
within. This is like a source block without
a language (you can number lines...).
- verse block :: Indentation, blank lines (excepted at the beginning
and the end of the block) and line breaks are
preserved. Org objects are recognized (e.g.,
emphasis) but not elements (e.g., paragraphs)
- quote block and center block :: They can contain anything, including
elements (e.g., paragraphs, lists...). Center blocks center their
contents (duh!) and Quote blocks make them stand out in some way.
