    Some trivia here, IBM actually developed a very, very similar markup language for documentation years before this.

    Which was...?

    Hi,

    Could it be GML or SGML ?

    Don't know what you're referring to. Always include the relevant text from the OP.

    They are talking about the mark-up language that IBM developed that was a precursor to the modern markup languages like HTML and XML.

    GML (1969) is the answer.

    Howdy,

    Your messages are not passing on the way through hub 3.

    The reason will be that a kludge is added after the above text, so the rest of the text is being ignored.

    What are you using to write the message?

    The problem can be seen here:

    The easy fix would be to add a kludge to the BY line, or move the PID line to before the kludge line.
