Footnotes, e.g., but really anything that lets you type into it. You
might think we should be able to have:

Here is some text. Here is some text. Here is[[FOOTNOTE: This is
the text of the footnote, which goes across a few lines, and is broken
in a sensible way.]] some text. Here is some text.

But what you see is:

Here is some text. Here is some text. Here is
[[FOOTNOTE: This is the text of the footnote, which goes across a
few lines, and is NOT broken in a sensible
way.                             ]]
some text. Here is some text.

It's a dream of many of us to fix this, but it's super hard.
