I'm not sure I'd consider [[tocauot]] "block-level" -- to me it's simply a
directive that inserts a toc.
As for the questions/answers, I'm not quite clear. Would this:
Q:Question: What is the meaning of life?
A:Answer: 42
now become this:
=QQuestion: What is the meaning of life?
=AAnswer: 42
which doesn't look nice to me. Or is the '=...'-directive on a line by
itself? That is, it'd look like this:
=Q
Question: What is the meaning of life?
=A
Answer: 42
Slighly better IMO, but I'd probably still prefer
[[:Q:]]Question: What is the meaning of life?
[[:A:]]Answer: 42
