## Line blocks

    Lend us a couple of bob till Thursday.
    I'm absolutely skint.
    But I'm expecting a postal order and I can pay you back as soon as it comes.
    Love, Ewan.

Another one:

    This is a line block.  It ends with a blank line.
        New lines begin with a vertical bar ("|").
        Line breaks and initial indent are significant, and preserved.
            Continuation lines are also possible.  A long line that is intended to wrap should begin with a space in place of the vertical bar.
        The left edge of a continuation line need not be aligned with the left edge of the text above it.

    This is a second line block.

    Blank lines are permitted internally, but they must begin with a "|".

Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!

    A one, two, a one two three four

    Half a bee, philosophically,
        must, *ipso facto*, half not be.
    But half the bee has got to be,
        *vis a vis* its entity. D'you see?

    But can a bee be said to be
        or not to be an entire bee,
            when half the bee is not a bee,
                due to some ancient injury?

    Singing...

The end.
