Pedantic Markup Language | |
A tag based markup language that forces the writer into such specificity that even the Autonomous PeterSealy Machine (see link) would be unable to provide useless comment.

That should say "tag-based" |
|
| |
Wonderful! Tags could contain qualifying statements about the intended usage, alternate definitions of words, all sorts of pedant-defusing remarks, like-- |
|
| |
<intentional satiric misuse>
<dialectic spelling>
<exaggeration for effect> |
|
| |
[global...] <dodgy_covering_remark>It did but then I edited it.</<dodgy_covering_remark> It didn't look right. |
|
| |
<genuine_surprise>Where's Peter?</genuine_surprise> |
|
| |
Don't worry, UB, luckily it's pretty much impossible. |
|
| |
<IF No PeterSealy annotation THEN pedantic override>I happen to like PeterSealy's comments</IF No PeterSealy annotation THEN pedantic override> |

This sounds only slightly more fun than progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (see link). |

That Human Markup thing is really sick. |

<pml effect="rationalisation of implementation possibilities">This could be implemented as an extension to HTML. A browser option ("I am a pedant") would turn <pml> tags into links or display popup text within "effect" and possibly other attributes.</pml> <pml effect="qualifier to support of idea">This would have an unfortunate effect on "nuance, humour and sponaneity," not to mention writing time.</pml> |
