The (:div:) markup can be nested only if the "div" is followed by a digit. In all other respects it's currently the same. There is also a proposal to use digits to allow nested forms of >>blah<< -- see http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/VoteOnNestedDivMarkup . I'm pretty sure we'll adopt one or the other -- still, this means that >>>blah<<< will translate into an equivalent (:div#:) markup of some sort. > At this time I must demur suggesting a naming convention.

Either try modifying the documentation directly, or post a message to the mailing list for discussion and comment. :-) Thanks! Pm > Patrick R.
