Well, yes.  I guess that is more concise :)

Gaaa!  The ol' double colon.  I guessed that was escaping to get a
single colon.

I now see also what the mysterious double period before "note" is all
about: an explicit markup block.  Oh boy.

Thanks for the tips.  I will polish the help section a little.

Hopefully the new patterns will be found to be useful.



Best regards,

Tom
