These are pretty nice. I don't know if they're nice enough to switch. Yes, (:nl:) is already used for something -- it forces a newline where one isn't present (but doesn't add a newline if one is present). It's primarily used to make sure that there are newlines around included content. It's also likely that \\ is going to become a widely adopted standard among wikis and blogs for "insert line break", although I don't think it will have the clear=all semantic that [[<<]] currently has. > >But I think that nowadays the only time that [[<<]] is used is to skip > >below any floating elements.

(Aren't there several options?) We can have both %clear=all% and %clear%, yes.
