Indeed, as soon as you have escaped the LMNL markup start characters [ and {, any plain-text document becomes well-formed LMNL. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan Original line from The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold: "Only on Barrayar would pulling a loaded needler start a stampede toward one." English-to-Russian-to-English mangling thereof: "Only on Barrayar you risk to lose support instead of finding it when you threat with the charged weapon."
