About this, Michel Fortin referred to an old thread (2005) about meta-data syntax.

Practically every language except xml allows a <delimiter> <comment> <newline> syntax. For hiding a lot of text, I concede that the <!-- --> syntax is sufficient, but is really overkill for short comments -- Andrea Censi "Life is too important to be taken seriously" (Oscar Wilde) Web: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~censi _______________________________________________ Markdown-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/markdown-discuss
