If you make contributions to this, please note that you should license them under the MIT license by putting a disclaimer at the top like Thraxis and I have done. Otherwise it is CC SA By and that's probably too restrictive for a tool that is intended to be this widely used.

Tweak for Mono (1-30)

I have tested this script in Mono, and it silently failed in the function 'get_number_of_prims'. The while loop does not work in Mono. I have change it to a working version. Ruud Lathrop

Long page, poor intro, and um, it's slow

This page seems to be written for experts and it's not too helpful for newbies to the whole xytext concept.

I'm of the opinion that the following changes should occur:

• Split off the 5-character code to a subpage
• Split off the 10-character code to a subpage
• Rewrite this as a purely introductory page, with images documenting just what exactly is going on here for the "n00bs", and explain why it's being done.
• Have links to the subpages for the 5-char / 10-char code after the intro sections.

Very confusing comments

The header comments are the same for the 5-char and 10-char versions? I guess I will have to save both and do a diff to ensure that I've got the 10-char version instead of the 5-char, as the different is not immediately obvious (perhaps it would be if this were not my first exposure to XyzzyText).
