[pmwiki-devel] What is <:vspace>?

[Simon]

Thanks heaps PM,
I must admit I only searched for "<:vspace">"

I do understand the use of (<p class='vspace'></p>),
for web page layout.

What I don't understand is why the Markup function returns the literal
"<:vspace>"
instead of a blank line in the case of the text contained between the
directive start and directive end markup
$markup_pattern = "/\\(:"
      . 'SimpleRecipeTemplate' . "\s*(?:" . $qpattern . ")\s*:\\)"
      . "(.*?)"
      . "\\(:"
      . 'SimpleRecipeTemplateNameend' . "\s*"
      . ":\\)/sim";
##
    Markup("SimpleRecipeTemplate",
      'fulltext',
      $markup_pattern,
      "SimpleRecipeTemplate_Parse" );

And how I stop it inserting this unexpected and unwanted literal.
PmWiki | PmWiki / CustomMarkup
<https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CustomMarkup> is silent on the
insertion of <:vspace> into the "match"

thanks again

Simon
