Lars, it comes across as a bit arrogant to say, if you don't like the way
we do things, then change the way you do things.
Less is all very well and good, but I use Emacs for a reason: I know how
to use its advanced search and multi-windowing capabilities, and would
prefer a common denominator file format that lets me and anyone else,
regardless of their predelictions for viewers, use it.
Now, if there is an Emacs mode, I'd like to hear about it. I expect that
those who use VIM might like to hear about a VIM equivalent.
BTW, does this format, with the ^h_ sequences for emphasis have a name?
