The existing syntax is supported by the current work that just uses |
| 9 |
literal blocks for all multiline text fields. This attempts avoiding all |
| 10 |
the semi-formatting issues, the downside being that text flow across |
| 11 |
paragraphs is broken since all the formatting is preserved as written in |
| 12 |
the eclasses. |

Pivoting to an actual markup language will be trivial if/when that |

occurs. |
