Formatter Block
===============

The formatter block must be used with the ``SonataBlockBundle`` as it
provides a native block to handle rich editor.  It can be a quick way to
build small websites with rich blocks.

Installation
------------

* Make sure ``SonataBlockBundle`` is installed;
* Make sure the block bundle is correctly configured;
* Add the ``sonata.formatter.block.formatter`` ID to the
  ``sonata_block`` configuration.

The block service is now available.

.. note::

    While this block can be used to handle and to manage contents, this
    is not a good solution to persist content. If you want to build a
    large website, then review the `Symfony CMF project
    <http://cmf.symfony.com/>`_.
