I don't know if we have achieved it :-) Content: ==An example!== # We believe that it’s the best way to begin to know each other ;-)\\ # And in order to achieve that, it’s better to start with something we are already familiar with: XML! A text in XML: {{{ John Smith Mery Adams Keyla Brown Project report Hello Mery!! The book is finished!! }}} Its equivalent in @STxT@: {{{ Email (www.example.com/email.stxt): From: John Smith To: Mery Adams Cc: Keyla Brown Title: Project report Body: Hello Mery!! The book is finished!! }}} == Well? == assert: Aside from removing those horrible characters {{{'<','>'}}} what’s new? content: Well, it’s a long list, but as a starter, we have more than enough with: * Better than XML in many ways: [[chapter_09.html|Look at Chapter 9]] * Semantic language... but simple! :-) * There are no escape characters! They are not needed! :-O * Always UTF-8 encoding * Easy to learn by humans (not programmers!) * Easy-to-read by machines Other features that programmers will like ;-) * Super-fast parsing * Language-integrated grammar * Simple namespaces, but everything always in namespaces * It easily integrates texts from other programming languages == And there's even more: SWB == Don't forget about our leading application [[swb.html|Semantic Web Builder]].\\ **Attention, designers!** For us it is the best web page editor there is. * Based in @STxT@, of course ;-) * Free :-D * Adaptable :-) * Fast :-O * //This website is made with it. We have already tried it!!// **You're going to love it :-P**
