Edmund Husserl and philosophy markup

Over at my eclectic-pencil blog I have a post on markup for philosophy in German.

The markup is used to try to make a dense and awkward text more readable and more approachable for someone new to that style of academic German writing.

The text in question is Husserl's 1927 article for the Encyclopedia Britannica - a text which has a connection with both Edith Stein and Martin Heidegger.

By comparing the two results for the same text input, the minimal markup can be seen to be very effective.

The markup used is the Curl web content language from curl.com

The reliable and secure Curl browser plugin is required.  Results are best on Windows in most browsers and on Linux in Firefox; I have not tested these new pages with the Mac add-on.
