Well, we wanted to overcome wrapped text problems in certain 
envoriments, like this email client here. you simply don't know if the 
text is autmatiaccyl warpped or manually broken. you decide to break it 
either by starting a new paragrahp, or by using %%% or <br>.

we never thought of a terminating "/". maybe jeff will try to implement 
this in his block parser.

why not use <br> for intentional linebreaks?
