Yours doesn’t look like it can either. No, (currently) blocks cannot be nested. Blocks are separated by >=1 newlines and consist of only one type of the ones listed in http://gedankenkonstrukt.de/konstrukt/syntax.html#BLOCK_SYNTAX. I only wanted to cover the most common formatting cases. It's far from being feature-complete and not intended to be a full-sized wiki-system. Bye, -Thomas
