umm. I was thinking "light" in terms of - tools required for the processing chain - the chance that someone new to python actually knows the stuff - support for the format in widely used word processing tools and you're talking about - number of keystrokes in a vintage text editor with no syntax support since I prefer to avoid "whitespace vs. braces" arguments, let's leave it there. > And attempting to roundtrip HTML back to reST would lose far too much > information in a less dogmatic Python universe, that would be considered a major design flaw in ReST. </F> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
