Because %vzdot% is being defined as a block markup, it only takes
effect if it's in the first markup line of the block.  So:

    First line and
    second %vzdot% line
    and third line

won't have any effect (the paragraph began on the first line), but this
version will:

    First %vzdot% line and
    second line
    and third line

Hope this helps.
