+  OSSP sugar is a markup language and corresponding processing tool for
+  writing technical documentation that uses a mostly invisible markup
+  language (so-called "syntactic sugar" in compiler construction folk
+  terminology).
+
+  The idea is that the markup looks mostly like the textual output,
+  i.e., the OSSP sugar source can be treated as its textual output
+  format ("ASCII WYSIWYG"). Additionally, the OSSP sugar markup language
+  is considered intuitive enough to be recognized and remembered
+  easily, so writing technical documentation is mainly just a matter of
+  performing a "brain dump".
+
+  OSSP sugar provides only a few markup concepts, but those are streched
+  to their maximum. So, the syntactic principle is "keep it simple,
+  stupid" (KISS), but still powerful enough to allow one to produce
+  high-quality technical documentation.
