Clearing formatting?
The problem is that -> and -< do not clear each other. So that having multiple paragraphs beginning with -< will force subsequent paragraphs to have hanging indents, in spite of clear commands to the contrary. See the example. In the example the third paragraph should be indented three places and not with a hanging indent (the coding is --->) but the preceding hanging indent forces a hanging indent in spite of the code. So my question is, how do I clear these indent styles so that each new indent line markup is correctly rendered? R D Jones August 01, 2011, at 01:06 PM

Solution
Using the >><< block markup clears the indent styling as in the example below. R D Jones August 01, 2011, at 05:31 PM
