2019-12-10	convert text blocks into widely compatible "blockquote" syntax	Hans-Christoph Steiner
	This only adds newline characters to make the existing text blocks act like "blockquote" or "code block" syntax in Markdown, asciidoc, and others. This was accomplished by manually reviewing the output of this script: ```bash for f in .txt; do cat $f \| python -c "import sys,re;print(re.sub(r'(\n {0,3}[^ \n][^\n]\n)( {4,}[^\n]*)', r'\1\n\2', sys.stdin.read()))" > ${f}.tmp mv ${f}.tmp $f done ```
2019-11-26	standardize whitespace in the titles	Hans-Christoph Steiner
	This is one small step towards making these a standard, parsable format.
