Tumblr uses attributes like this:
{block:JumpPagination length="5"}...{/block:JumpPagination}
But this is rare in Tumblr and we haven't used attributes yet. I would like to get rid of attributes since they complicate the syntax and the function calls. In the rare cases where we need attributes, we can do this:
{block:JumpPagination}{block:length}5{/block:length}...{/block:JumpPagination}
or
{define:length-5}{block:length}5{/block:length}{/define:length-5}
{block:JumpPagination}{length-5}...{/block:JumpPagination}
Okay?
