Could we /not/ use '=>' -- the markup extensions use => to indicate right 
aligned text; =< means left aligned and both are omitted from printable
views, enabling one to write, for example 

=>[[#top | Top]] 

=<To create a printable view of the trail, press '@Publish@'

These appear on screen but not in print.



And on the features front, if I am editing such an indented block,
can I select the whole block, click an indent (or outdent) gui edit
button and move the entire block in or out?
