You're thinking of [Haml][1], which is not awesome.
[Markdown]
Markdown is the new hotness in formatting.
Instead of open and close tags like SGML/HTML/XML your markup is done with

eg.
#html
#head
#meta: content blah
#body
#container
lorem ipsum
#footer

Not that it's particularly relevant, but I remember back in the day when
internet service was billed by the hour there used to be services that

That sounds good. How about a web site or a Snail mail address for them? I
would like to do a bit of research to see if they're what I want to spend

Sounds REALLY expensive, but I'll give it a look anyway. Maybe I'll be
interested in it. I do need a place to mail them though (Snail Mail

I know Linux format at least is more like $160 a year (or currently on sale
for $120). I just finished a one year sub with them, and it's a really
solid magazine with a broad range of Linux, open source, and programming
coverage. Several of the writers and the editor recently left the magazine

Linux Format and Linux User and Developer are two that come to mind. I think
you can get them without the CD but they are expensive (60.00 per year).

Hey folks, I got a quick question about what magazines people like. I'm
looking for some PRINT magazines about compuers, and about Linux in
particular. The magazines should not come with any media (i.e. optical

enjoy Linux
