but I do not want that LaTeX mode auto indents my SPAD or Aldor commands! The
indentation rules are different!

4) requires more space, i.e., @ is shorter than \end{chunk}.
5) can it handle nested chunks?
This last point is especially important if you want to intersperse commands and
documentation, as I tend to. To my eyes, @ looks more or less like an empty
line. \end{chunk} requires another empty line, I feel.
Tim, I suggest that you make this change in a separate branch. We had this
discussion once, as you said, but already then there was disagreement. Ralf
pointed out some of the difficulties back then, but I cannot find a reply of
yours:

(By the way, could you please copy the "references: " field when you reply to
mail. I find it hard to find out what mail you are replying to.)
So, how would the following code read in gclweb?
<<implementation: Compose>>=
structures(s: SetSpecies L): Generator % == generate {
for pi in structures(s)$Partition(L) repeat {
<<Yield elements of $F[\pi]\times\prod_{p\in\pi} {G[p]}$>>
}
}
@
some more documentation here...
<<Yield elements of $F[\pi]\times\prod_{p\in\pi} {G[p]}$>>=
import from MachineInteger, Partition L;
arrlist: Array List L := pi::Array List L;
for f in structures(pi::SetSpecies(SetSpecies L))$F(SetSpecies L) repeat {
for p in structures(0, arrlist) repeat yield per [pi, f, p];
}
