We derive new functional equations for Nielsen polylogarithms. We show that, when viewed modulo $\mathrm{Li}_5$ and products of lower weight functions, the weight $5$ Nielsen polylogarithm $S_{3,2}$ satisfies the dilogarithm five-term relation. We also give some functional equations and evaluations for Nielsen polylogarithms in weights up to 8, and general families of identities in higher weight.

We define a variant of real-analytic polylogarithms that are single-valued and that satisfy ''clean'' functional relations that do not involve any products of lower weight functions. We discuss the
