But isn't that what backspace does?  Or do you mean the ability to
position the pages arbitrarily?

I cut and pasted the warmth text from a LaTeX document!  Sorry.

Is there an advantage to "|<| nice...warmth |>|" over
"--- nice...warmth ---", since there are spaces around the dashes?

I thought that the "|<|...|>|" was so that line breaking could occur
between the dash and the text inside the dashes, but the test below
indicates that the same thing happens with "---".  Do they have some
other purpose than facilitating line breaking?
