For the programmers:
Notice in BBML there is almost never a need for quotes, braces, colons, brackets, parantheses - nada.
It reads like an informal human description of what you want, and it works.
The only time you need to use quotes on a string is if you want an = or > character in the text.
Nesting of objects is indicated by indentation, like Python source code.
For the frequent case where you need an object containing just one other object, you can put them on one line with the > character, instead of two lines with the second indented.
Form
FormItem label=Something you want >TextInput width=60
The equivalent XML would be:
I prefer BBML.
