OutlineText is a __lightweight markup language__ 
that has been developed to __make the outline of a sentence easier to understand__ at the plain text stage. 
Unlike other lightweight markup languages (Markdown, AsciiDoc, ReStructuredText, ...), 
__the indentation represents the hierarchical structure of the text.__ 
This makes the hierarchical structure of the text easier to understand visually.
