comment Very simple markup language for writing fiction
We're working on a project to create a set of tools for my custom markup. It's coming along quite well and should be ready for public consumption within a week or so. If you're really interested, you can follow on twitter @TomeProject (twitter.com/TomeProject). Will post a final answer with link once the project is ready for release.

comment Do the characters in the following dialogue sound the same?
I don't think they sound any more alike than two real people in a similar environment may. They both sound like teenagers to me.

Understood, and that's a good example, thanks. I am asking specifically about fiction works, though, I think sections (whether above or below chapters) are more likely to be used in non-fiction work.

I would say a section comes below a chapter as well, but I think a *** break is usually called a "scene" not a section. I would think a section is more for text books and academic papers, and wouldn't normally appear in fiction.

Thanks, I forgot about creole. I looked into it a while ago for another project and liked it in general, but I think it's still off the mark for what I'm trying to do.

Sure thing. Bear in mind that I've developed it specifically for the way I'm writing. Hopefully it will be useful to others as well.

comment Should you use two spaces after a period, or just a single one?
I'm going to good-naturedly nitpick on this old post: "true email" is not necessarily plain text, it's just ASCII coded content; the content-type header specifies how the ASCII characters should be interpreted and displayed (e.g., as plaintext, as HTML, as something else). Also, plaintext in no way mandates that the characters will be monospaced: that may be typical behavior, but there's no reason plaintext can't be displayed in any font you want, including fonts where different characters are different sizes.

comment Very simple markup language for writing fiction
@spiceyokooko: But I'm not using a word processing program, I'm using a plain text editor, all it does is store the characters I type to a file. Also, I'm not interested in replicating any printed fiction novel I can pick up, I'm interested in writing my story the way I envision it. I do appreciate your advice, but I think we can agree that not everybody works the same way.
