It's also interesting that there's another ZML in use, so Bowerbird may need to change the acronym he is using for his regularized plain text schema, such as to ZenML:
fat chance! somebody better warn the new interloper... ;+) interesting page, scott. (except i got a flock of 404s.) one of these days, no-markup markup is finally gonna hit its critical mass... my efforts are aimed at offline e-books, for which i am creating the viewer-app, so my "zen markup language" files aren't intended to be transformed into (x)html (who needs the hassle?), but read directly. the real noise will be about my _viewer_. the sizzle on the steak is that you feed it plain old text, and still get immense power. eventually i'll write a z.m.l. browser plug-in, but for now the more-important priority is to wean people off the browser for reading e-books. so i do not see myself as competing in any way with any of the other no-markup systems today. (nor do i see any of them as competition to me.) i also intend to be much simpler than any of them! -bowerbird
