Scott,

But what if someone wants to mention a keyword inside comments,
or the disclaimer, etc...?

Stephen,

I have the following suggestions to eliminate this problem:

1) Require that keywords do not appear in any text blocks. Where a keyword
is defined to include the [keyword] syntax. This would
be an unusual circumstance anyway. It is highly unlikely that in production
models that a [keyword] would appear in a text block
sections. These sorts of things generally only occur in examples and can be
easily removed.

2) Require an [End Block] keyword for all sections with text blocks.

The requirement that keywords begin in column 1 seems more onerous to me
than either of these suggestions. I would "really" like to
be able to use indented structure within all future models to facilitate
better understandability. Also, I would really like to not
have to deal with a stupid parser that spits out my files when somehow I
managed to create a model that does not position a keyword
in column 1.

regards,

scott
