	I didn't understand your point here.  The old version had a
strange marker ($|...|$) HTML editors don't understand by default.
The other markers were always between HTML comments (<!-- ... -->), but
they're not Lua (<!--$$ LOOP start='...' test='...' action='...' $$-->).
	The new preprocessor is more compatible with XML and translates
the code to a string.  There are not new constructors: everything should
be done with pure Lua.  Don't you think it's a better way?
