Google in the c.l.l. archives for "TML", a format Tim Bradshaw uses that
was inspired by some postings by Erik Naggum. In TML, the above would be:

    <operator|Ten pages of text>

and the HTML <font color="red">This is a <b>bold</b> one!</font> would
in TML be <font :color "red"|This is a <b|bold> one!>.

p.s. The following single hit gives a quick overview of TML:
