Do you have some samples of the documentation you are building your
alternative for?  I'd love to have a look at the case you describe.

Still too heavy for prose composition, IMNSHO. I've been working on a
*really* simple alternative intended mainly for writing documentation;
alpha implementation should be out in a couple of days.

Oh, I'm doing it in Ruby, though. For the time being.

No, Uche, I haven't gone over to the other side. Just broadening my
horizons a bit.
