<?php
namespace Foo\Blocks;
/**
* Generic block rendering callback function to load a block from a theme template part.
*
* Loads a block from the `blocks` subdirectory according to the name of the block, and places the
* block attributes and block content into namespaced query vars. If there's no corresponding block
* template part, the block content is returned unaltered.
*
* A block named `foo/block1` looks for a template part named `blocks/foo/block1.php`.
*
* The block attributes and content can be accessed inside the template part via query vars:
*
* - `get_query_var( 'foo/block1/attribute1' )`
* - `get_query_var( 'foo/block1/attribute2' )`
* - `get_query_var( 'foo/block1/content' )`
*
* @param string $name The full block name, for example 'foo/block1'.
* @param array $attributes Array of attributes saved on the block instance.
* @param string $content Optional user-entered block content. Can be null.
* @return string The dynamic block content.
