+<div class="notebox">
+[[!format mdwn """
+This is my text with [a markdown link](#).
+
+Here's a *second* paragraph.
+"""]]
+</div>
+
+> There is more than one way to do it. If [[plugins/format]] is enabled, then this:
+>
+> <div class="notebox">
+> \[[!format mdwn """
+> This is my text with [a markdown link](#).
+>
+> Here's a *second* paragraph.
+> """]]
+> </div>
+>
+> is rendered like the box in this page.

+> use any class.) --[[smcv]]

+> Doing this myself and noted that [[ikiwiki/markdown]] down does not allow the enclosure of block level elements directly; and thus we cannot switch the `span` suggested above for `div` in changing block level elements (not if you wish to include markdown, anyway). For example, I want to create a paragraph (with markdown text) which is right aligned, and so add the following
+
+>> <span class="right_align">
+>> This is my text with [a markdown link](/)
+>> </span>
+
+> The *correct* thing to do here is create a template (as indicated above) **but** a workaround I found useful was to over-ride the `inline` nature of the `span` element, as follows
+
+>> .align_right { display: block ; text-align: right ; }
+
+> you may also like to remove the padding and margins since they will be provided by the enclosing block. -- fergus
