Well I am no expert on what people consider "ugly" - all I want is "consistent and unambiguous". :-) > Sooner or later, someone will have to say > "for goodness sake, Joe, when you write ABC remember that end-of-line > bangs MUST be followed by a space" (or whatever). Well said! In that case can you put ! followed by space in the standard as a newline, and define !...! so that the content must not start with a space? I (like others apparently) rather dislike |!: to start a line with a new repeated section. | ! |: (including space after !) would be much better.
