-;Format
-:By now I think I've found the lightest possible format :
-:*plain-faced, indented text (leading ":" tag) for speech
-:**custom indents possible with multiple ":"s
-:**emphasis (intonation etc) with italics
-:**inline directions in bold (see below)
-:*directions in bold
-:**Small headers (leading ";" tag) for voice tags, capitalized.
-;**inline comments in brackets '''(like this)'''
-;**paragraphs typeset in bold, either with triple ' or ";"
-;**custom indentation for directions with leading ":;", "::;" etc
-;**custom emphasis through capitalization, italics etc as needed

-;Names
-:Make up your mind with capitalization and such (is it "Smallgirl", "SmallGirl", "smallgirl"?).
-:Until then, I'll write "small girl" and "old man", just if they were common noun groups.
-:And I won't systematically capitalize the names in the directions : "Konoko" etc are fine.

-;Edits
-:I took a few liberties when reformulating the directions.
-:I don't have the heart to do the same for the actual prose.
-:(even if it's not exactly correct English for the most)
-:Most of the time the problem is that I have to thoroughly understand what a sentence means.
-:And I just don't. Actually, grammar/vocabulary/syntax are only one half of the problem.
-:The risk of a mistranslation is doubled by the underlying abstract thought.
-:So I'd suggest to systematically develop on possibly ambiguous tirades out here.
-:(I know that's not what you'd normally do, but there's no other way to fix up the translation)
-:Alternatively, you can just put the Italian sentences up as well, and I'll take it from there ^^
