Hi, Bram.

Yes, proof readers would be of great benefit.

Paul & I are working on a system of appropriate markup for the files
that can then be sent to the interpreter for conversion.

I've created a GitHub repository for use in the project & I suggest
when we have a test file ready to commit to it, people, if they so
wish, can clone a copy of the file in order to proof read it.

As soon as the first file is ready, we will advise my email & gladly
accept any help, advice, constructive criticism & so on.

Cheers,

Phil...
