This module allows site builders to create blocks out of regions in the site's theme. In doing so it allows for a "block of blocks" that can be placed and themed as a group.
This module is just a formatter (display) of textfield, text area and text format. The idea behind this is to provide a simple solution, easy to setup, with few dependencies to display text on website.
Implementation
The trim function in this module is taken from Views module with a few modifications.
Integration
Of course, this module is fully compatible with any modules that use entity formatters, such as Views or Panels
Besides that, this module is extremely useful when you use it with view modes. In order to create a new view mode, you can implement the hook_entity_info_alter() or install Entity view modes module.
