again, minus mistakes, so it might make sense:
the reason i said that bit is html and xml (i know they're not human
languages and they're certainly not in the area i'm asking about) but
they make heavy use of opening and closing - their structure is based
on it - and i'm wondering is there any language that uses more than one
glyph for an open or close, like in xml and html? they have a group of
characters that together mean open or close, like <title> and </title>.
i can't think of anywhere that happens in english, but maybe in another
language?
