I think your remark that Scribble-style is not really compatible with<br>
Scribble is enough to sink the idea.  It&#39;s hard to maintain two subtly<br>

much like XML, and creates no mental conflicts.<br>

I&#39;d be curious to hear from people with Scribble experience.  Would you<br>
rather have something that is similar to Scribble, but not 100% the same<br>
syntax, or something totally different?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Chibi uses a Scribble-variant for its documentation</div><div>and I&#39;m quite happy with it.  The only thing it doesn&#39;t</div><div>do is automatic removal of leading whitespace up to</div>
