yes, transforming xml. and it was useful. great! edit: zomg mcswell I see you're the person I was replying to in the first place, to this absurd comment: "First, who decided that XML was a good format to write a programming language in? Punch cards would have been better" I mean come on. |

At any rate, there's absolutely no reason for a command in any programming language to require open and close XML tags: it's a waste of space, and just gets in the way of understanding the program,. If you need to close a command, there are things like {}, semicolons, parens (LISP), exdenting (Python), or even--yes--the 80th column in a punch card.
