I didn't see that the main extension was brackets.

ok.

Right now, I don't see the Skribe syntax as more friendly than what I can
be achieved with the default guile reader, especially the escape sequence
,( I understand why it is useful, but I think it introduce some complexity.

The difference with my program that does «s-expr to html» seem to be that
inline elements inside a paragraph feet naturally and there is not need for
«extra» space, for instance:

(p [what do you think about ,(bold "bold") text])

Has to be written in my program as:

(paragraph "what do you think about " (bold "bold") " text")

Hmmm, rethinking about this makes me think that Skribe syntax is best. I
have to update my program to use it :)


Thanks,



Amirouche
