mattsqd's sandbox: Content To Block

The Content To Block module provides the ability to place blocks on the page
that will take the content of another element and place it in itself. The
module currently supports moving HTML elements and Javascript global variables.
The module also supports two methods for creating blocks. You can create
custom blocks in the pages admin section that can be placed or if you have the
Ctools module, you can create content type plugin blocks. The admin section
blocks are stored in a single variable (content_to_block_blocks) while the
content type plugin blocks are stored in whatever Ctools panel you are on.
