<p>
A QuickBook document is composed of one or more blocks. An example of a block
is the paragraph or a C++ code snippet. Some blocks have special mark-ups.
Blocks, except code snippets which have their own grammar (C++ or Python),
are composed of one or more phrases. A phrase can be a simple contiguous run
of characters. Phrases can have special mark-ups. Marked up phrases can recursively
contain other phrases, but cannot contain blocks. A terminal is a self contained
block-level or phrase-level element that does not nest anything.
</p>
<p>
Blocks, in general, are delimited by two end-of-lines (the block terminator).
Phrases in each block cannot contain a block terminator. This way, syntax errors
such as un-matched closing brackets do not go haywire and corrupt anything
past a single block.
