What is readable for him, then was likely NOT this ... °X.fred-opens-angel Fred opens the Guillemet with a degree. Is THAT "readable"? I would say it IS readable for the AUTHOR. I am using your tool for inserting text via CSS like this (each class uses "::before" to insert the text)... °A.a-lonyb °P.p-3 °A.o-ls-l I can read that. It is MY shorthand. Very compact. I fully understand it. But it is NOT Gruber's concept of Markdown "readability". The POINT? "Readability" is actually CONTEXT dependent. I'll give a bigger example later. Your tool actually allows shorthand easily. It gets over some of the practical (& ideological, circa 2004) limitations of existing wiki markup methods.
