Hi, I asked a while ago if a "getting started manual" was a good idea. But I got caught up on another issue, the format. I spent a couple of days throwing together this demo of a self documenting comment style that can be used in perl and c without the compiler freaking out. It also works to write a plain document. The demo is attached. I included a demo c and text file. The perl script that runs the demo is itself commented using it, and the demo parses itself.
I was wondering if you could take a look at it and tell me if it has any merrit, or if I should not waste my time on it and get back to the "getting started guide". I am currently on a windows machine and have not tried the demo on my linux box yet. So I don't know how it will run under anything other than windows. Please excuse the use of the optomistic name ParrotDoc. Thanks, Erik Lechak
