I've been thinking for quite some time about how to incorporate spacing properly into the syntax of a programming language, and I now settled for a simple solution: hard-code blocks of texts via spacing into the text format itself. I call the result Recursive teXt (RX, http://recursivetext.com http://recursivetext.com), and I am using it as the basis for the rest of my work on Practal, instead of using just plain text. A lot of issues are resolved with this, for example it is trivial to have different kinds of syntax live next to each other, as they can just occupy separate blocks.
