The two markups >><< and (:div:) have different logic.
The thing inside >>...<< or in %...% is a "WikiStyle", a predefined set of
keywords and combinations; those within (:div...:), (:table...:) or (:cell:)
are raw HTML attributes which are displayed as-is in the produced HTML.
For wiki authors without much HTML/CSS knowledge, WikiStyles are probably very
easy to understand and to get working. (PmWikiPhilosophy #1 and #2.)
WikiStyles are not always exact CSS styles or classes, and for very
experienced hardcore HTML/CSS experts, they might appear unusual at the
beginning. But I feel there should be no problem for *experts* to understand
and use a new tool, slightly different from the one they knew before. :-)
In the past, there was a confusion in the documentation about "WikiStyle" vs.
"HTML Attribute". I tried to explain it better, but if you can improve it,
please edit the page:
