The use case I am thinking of is allow me to simplyfy & share with others an approach to correct manuscripts. I work often using specialist software to proof edit articles & books for publishers. This uses a specific method and its own system of glyphs (based on "printers' corrections"). The software involved is very complex and expensive. I believe there is a way I could do this work in TW using your Custom Markup if I had a few special glyphs. I could explain it in detail if you wanted---but I don't want to overload you more than we have already :-) P.S.: By the way the Pilcrow was originally used inline (often coloured red) in Medieval manuscripts to indicate a ceasura / hiatus / pause in the flow of a text. Vellum / parchment was very expensive so text is as condensed as possible. Paragraphs separated by lines evolved much later and was more to do with the development of printing and cheaper paper.
