	~~== Advantages ==~~

	* the syntax is text-based (not: binary), which makes it

	** easy to store on source code revision control systems (like for example [[git]])
	* the syntax is quite compact:
	** the most frequent elements can be written in simple, compact syntax, without lots of syntax clutter around it (as for example in [[XML]])

	~~== Disadvantages ==~~

	* the syntax is "line-by-line based", this makes designing statements very difficult which aim to refer to a bunch of lines as a whole

The syntax has been invented by [[James Jessiman]] and carefully extended since then.
