I was just showing you an example of pull-parsing MTML in order to show that
it works. I never use it for anything but to populate an array as a global
var or to at the end take what's in that global array and store it in a
single text document as structured. The array works faster than the offset()
function for building the array. I considered Richard's method of storing my
information in stacks but ruled it out for my own needs because of something
I was doing with encryption. I can base64 a single MTML text document while
compressing it during save. This worked best for me. I needed a fast save
process.
