+Unlike fenced code blocks, here the exact number of colons in the opening and
+closing fences is irrelevant, even when nesting divs: the telltale sign
+between opening and closing fences is the presence of attributes, or the lack
+thereof. Hence, the number of colons in a closing fence doesn't have to
+match that of its opening counterpart, and there is no need to use different
+fences lenghts to distinguish a nested div from its parent (except for visual
+clarity).
