about "zen markup language"

this doc.u.ment was prepared in z.m.l. format -- "zen markup language", or "zero markup language".

z.m.l. leverages plain-text conventions as "markup"

which -- when shown with a z.m.l. viewer-program -- displays as a very-nicely-formatted e-book with many powerful features and capabilities for readers.

load this file in a z.m.l. viewer and it springs to life, from an ugly ascii duck to a beautiful e-book swan.
