Hmmm... FWIW, I think the chosen markup ought to relate to
existing markup conventions if possible, rather than
introduce another convention to remember.
If / and [ are not suitable, the other simple "I'm about to
span several chunks" markup is || for tables. What about:
|%classname #idname
where both classname and #idname are optional
The "||border=0" doesn't take a closing delimiter, so
the "|%" probably doesn't need one either
%|
Closes the div. Every other asymmetric open/close markup
is mirrored: [= ... =], '_ ... _' and so on. Hence:
|%
stuff
%|
The reservation I have about things like {%Pm%} is that
they don't let me know that "I'm an opener and somewhere
there will be a bit of markup to close me". Similarly,
things like {%%} don't (to me) look like "I'm a closer".
Just a thought...
