From: Lady Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2025 00:42:16 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Quotes and brackets as multiparagraph divisions X-Git-Tag: 0.5.0~1 X-Git-Url: https://git.ladys.computer/LesML/commitdiff_plain/1192f5c276e839eaf6b7bbad5d31b0175a3e52ed?hp=e50e25b85b0c333d21c518043eca0b50f21e1b39 Quotes and brackets as multiparagraph divisions This commit introduces a new concept of multiparagraph divisions (where the lines within are re·analysed after the prefix is removed) and transitions block quotations to it. I resisted this for a long while because it’s less “simple”, but the precedent of preformatted text and the old quotation mechanism (which was kind of messy) was already conceptually close. And footer support really requires this. --- diff --git a/README.markdown b/README.markdown index 1979cd3..1643af2 100644 --- a/README.markdown +++ b/README.markdown @@ -52,6 +52,14 @@ Documents in the later case inherit the latest preceding `#!lesml` Documents are broken into paragraphs by blank lines.
