this is a demo version of "the best of toc", a remix created by bowerbird intelligentleman to show how this book would be handled with z.m.l. -- a.k.a. "zen markup language".
as it is a demo, the text was scrambled a bit, as a comparison with the original will show...
you can view the z.m.l. file which created this powerful .pdf and the corresponding .html site:
http://z-m-l.com/go/bomoc/bomoc.zml
it's a straightforward file, free of angle brackets.
there is no reason for complex, heavy markup; _if_you_don't_understand_it,_you_don't_need_it._ you now have a simple, powerful choice instead.
there's an audience out there awaiting your work. do not let technocrats make publishing difficult!

here's some extra room, in case you wanna write a poem here...
