 Tile definition
 ---------------
 
-* `"image.png"`
-* `{name="image.png", animation={Tile Animation definition}}`
-* `{name="image.png", backface_culling=bool, align_style="node"/"world"/"user", scale=int}`
-    * backface culling enabled by default for most nodes
-    * align style determines whether the texture will be rotated with the node
-      or kept aligned with its surroundings. "user" means that client
-      setting will be used, similar to `glasslike_framed_optional`.
-      Note: supported by solid nodes and nodeboxes only.
-    * scale is used to make texture span several (exactly `scale`) nodes,
-      instead of just one, in each direction. Works for world-aligned
-      textures only.
-      Note that as the effect is applied on per-mapblock basis, `16` should
-      be equally divisible by `scale` or you may get wrong results.
-* `{name="image.png", color=ColorSpec}`
-    * the texture's color will be multiplied with this color.
-    * the tile's color overrides the owning node's color in all cases.
-* deprecated, yet still supported field names:
-    * `image` (name)
