h2{color:green}. This is a title h3. This is a subhead p{color:red}. This is some text of dubious character. Isn't the use of "quotes" just lazy writing -- and theft of 'intellectual property' besides? I think the time has come to see a block quote. bq[fr]. This is a block quote. I'll admit it's not the most exciting block quote ever devised. Simple list: #{color:blue} one # two # three Multi-level list: # one ## aye ## bee ## see # two ## x ## y # three Mixed list: * Point one * Point two ## Step 1 ## Step 2 ## Step 3 * Point three ** Sub point 1 ** Sub point 2 Well, that went well.

        $text = str_replace("%::%

","",$text);
        $text = str_replace("%::%","",$text);
