Hmmm... the documentation (http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/BlockMarkup)
does indicate that the >>blah<< block can NOT be nested while the (:div
...:) can be. That sorta suggests one is not a substitute for the other.
At this time I must demur suggesting a naming convention. I'm an expert
at being PmWiki specifically and wikis, in general, ignorant. 8-) I am not
"markup" sufficient. Yet. As I struggle with using PmWiki I will (do!)
have suggestions; however. Should I send suggestions directly to you or
make (try?) to update/modify the documentation myself?
