What if you allowed the author to define delimiter characters within the 
(:markup:) directive, like this:

(:markup >>>:)
  [= blah blah
more
etc =] >>>

On rendering this, it would look like so:

----------------------
  [= blah blah
more
etc =]
----------------------
blah blah
more
etc
----------------------

If no characters are defined, then use the [=...=] delimiters.

This should let you (:markup:) anything that doesn't include the delimiter 
string.
