Comment #6 on issue 6 by cmpilato: Nested [format] blocks don't have the
expected effect.

Ah, okay. Well, glad the behavior is present! A little disappointed that
the design
is so... unique and non-obvious, but I understand how it can be
beneficial. (Though,
I'd argue that supporting stacking and added a de-formatting operator might
have been
a more obvious thing:

[format "html"] ... [format "!html"][preescaped_data][end] ... [end]

Well... on applications that generate web pages, I instantiate all
templates using HTML escaping for the default, so a [format "html"]
isn't needed anywhere. Thus, any [format] invocations are for the
special cases. Since there isn't a [format "html"] present in the
file, then doing [format "!html"] would be a bit strange. Nothing to
pair up.

I look at [format] as absolute ("this is the format for this block").
You look at them as scoped.

I say: change your outlook :-) ;-)

Alright. I see how it's gonna be, then.
