+A Div starts with a fence containing at least three consecutive colons

+The attributes may optionally be followed by another string of

+The attribute syntax is exactly as in fenced code blocks (see

+As with fenced code blocks, one can use either attributes in curly
+braces or a single unbraced word, which will be treated as a class name.
