At the start of a line, <:block> means "start a block-level element", i.e. break out of the paragraphs.

Say you have these markups:
* (:abc:) returns 'ABC'
* (:def:) returns '<:block>DEF'

This wiki text:

Some text
(:abc:)
some other text

will produce this HTML (simplified):

<p>Some text
ABC
some other text</p>

While this wiki text:

Some text
(:def:)
some other text

will produce this HTML (simplified):

<p>Some text</p>
DEF
<p>some other text</p>

This is intended for a markup rule to return a block level element like <div>...</div> that is not allowed inside an HTML paragraph.
