Yes. It's especially useful for making large sectional structure in a text file — for example, program source code — that can then be easily navigated “by page” with a text editor like Emacs or Vim. Since it's a standard white space character by definition, it can go anywhere that white space can go; and yet it acts to signal structure within the file. -- \ “There's a certain part of the contented majority who love | `\ anybody who is worth a billion dollars.” —John Kenneth | _o__) Galbraith, 1992-05-23 | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
