OK, so nobody seems to like the "#*" idea.
If we put ## in the grammar, then we don't need the empty [], so my example
would become:
## Inline elements
{
## Emphasis
{
em = ...
strong = ...
}
## Technical
{
code =...
...
}
}
## Block elements
{
p = ...
}
This looks much better, but nonetheless I think it's surprising that
removal of a ## line would make it not parse, so I think an explicit div
keyword would be better:
## Inline elements
div {
## Emphasis
div {
em = ...
strong = ...
}
## Technical
div {
code =...
...
}
}
## Block elements
div {
p = ...
}
I experimented with the div1/div2/... idea, but it didn't seem to me to
work very well: the div markers were too visually inconspicuous.
So at the moment I think the best solution is to use
div { ... }
to represent a div. This will be unsurprising to users, works OK with ##,
and doesn't require any strange hacks.
