Often I would like to include a sentence or two of slightly off-topic information halfway through a page (a 'note'). I'd like it to render as an indented block with an icon of some sort (like Forrest renders notes - see http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/latest/standalone-dbconfig.html, - only less obtrusive). The indentation is necessary to indicate that the note is not part of the main text. I couldn't find any other magic tags to indent a paragraph, but if there are, that would keep me happy too.

added a comment - Mate,
Agreed - this would be a useful macro and would only take us a few minutes to create. We'll add it for DR2.
Cheers,
Mike

added a comment - That would do. A sidebar (float:right) would also do - anything that indicates "this isn't part of the main text".
Do old-fashioned notions like separating content from presentation have any place in Wikis? 
I keep thinking the doc author should just be able to say
, and not have to worry about how it's rendered.
