[Doc-SIG] Monty: A structured text syntax idea

[Sean Mc Grath]

"""
idea:
	para:
		I was editing some text in Python emacs mode the
		other day.
	para:
		I got to thinking how Python mandatory indentation
		emph:
			removes
		much of the need for delimiters
	para:
		Then it occured to me that XML tags are basically
		delimiters of nested block structures.
	para:
		Before I new it, I had written this structured text
		document, trivially parseable, trivially convertable
		to XML or whatever and christened it
		bold:
			Monty
		in honour of Python from which the idea came.
	para:
		I have started using this format in my docstrings
		and find Barry's amazing Python editing mode to
		be a very pleasent - um - structured text authoring
		tool!
