Besides, the idea would be not to use , but rather some "indent paragraph" tag.
This is kind-of a cool idea. If I ever take a course involving writing my own language I'll be sure to incorporate this idea.
This idea of an indent paragraph tag has been incorporated in various development environments and, partly, in languages. It is called the tab character. Environments such as Emacs can be trained to treat those tab characters as an indentation tag. And even in word processing this tagging character has been used quite extensively. :-| /David
