It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
I put one sentence per line.
Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
    according to natural breaks in the sentences.
(I try to aim for an 80 column width.)
Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
    the English is much easier to edit, and
    diffs are way cleaner.
(I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)

In what way do you consider it easier to read raw HTML than it is to read properly-formatted text? This text displays all of its tags on kbin and it's a nightmare to read.

Aw, gross.
kbin is written in php.
Thanks, but no thanks, lol.
