ScratchBlocks Version (only if using Block Plugin)	sb	Setting the version of block rendering to use, if block plugin syntax was given above. Usually set to "3.0". Set this to "2.0" to make the block show up as a 2.0 block, useful for blocks that only existed in Scratch 2.0 or 1.4. To use a screenshot, omit this parameter entirely.

Example

{{block
| name     = Move () Steps
| image    = move () steps
| category = [[Motion Blocks|Motion]]
| type     = [[Stack Block|Stack]]
| added    = [[11Oct03]]
| sb       = yes
}}

produces:

Move () Steps
move () steps
Category	Motion
Type	Stack

For blocks that are no longer in Scratch 3.0:

{{block
| name     = Sensor ()?
| image    = <sensor [button pressed v]?:: extension>
| category = [[PicoBoard Blocks|PicoBoard]]
| type     = [[Boolean Block|Boolean]]
| added    = [[2.0]]
| removed  = [[3.0]]
| sb       = 2.0
}}

Sensor ()?
<sensor [button pressed v]?:: extension>
Category	PicoBoard
Type	Boolean
Introduced in	2.0
Removed in	3.0

For blocks which require an image to render:

{{block
| name       = While ()
| image      = File:0.x While () (block).png
| image_size = 100px
| category   = [[Control Blocks|Control]]
| type       = [[C Block|C]]
}}
