Look for '@' in the parselines() function and follow the flow. :)


I think the parser is the part of the code which needs the most work. It =
has a=20
few bugs which are hard if not impossible to fix with the current approac=

others should be tags of their own IMHO.

This reminds me of HTML meta tags so what does everyone think about @meta=
? (or=20
@info? ...)

Great! We're excited to hear that our code is useful and there is interes=
t in=20
further development.


PS: If I'm not mistaken, our company is looking into using phpGroupWare...
