Well said. The markup language was clearly inspired by Scribe, which was quite popular in Academia (at least) at the time. As a *markup language*, I personally find it superior to anything else currently in use, but that's a whole different discussion that on TUHS inevitably degenerates into the current spate of ranting, so I won't start on it. > Personally I still mostly use Lout these days. :-) Wow.
