Nesting divisions
In addition to the normal (:div:)...(:divend:), one can also
suffix "div" with a number to indicate a specific div to be
opened or closed. For example (indentation shown for clarity):
(:div:) <div> start a new div
abc <p>abc</p>
(:div1:) <div> start a (nested) div1
def <p>def</p>
(:div1:) </div><div> close prev div1, start new div1
ghi <p>ghi</p>
(:div1end:) </div> close prev div1
jkl <p>jkl</p>
(:divend:) </div> close div
Any sequence of digits can be used to distinguish one div from another.
The digits don't imply any sort of ordering relationship -- they're
simply used to match up opening and closing div tags. For example,
each of the following columns all output the same results:
(:div1:) (:div3:) (:div2:)
(:div2:) (:div2:) (:div1:)
(:div3:) (:div1:) (:div3:)
text text text
(:div3end:) (:div1end:) (:div3end:)
(:div2end:) (:div2end:) (:div1end:)
(:div1end:) (:div3end:) (:div2end:)
Closing a div automatically closes any nested divs that were started
inside of it.
