+EasyDTX is a variant of the DTX format which eliminates the need for all those
+pesky `macrocode` environments. Any line introduced by a single comment counts
+as documentation, and documentation lines may be indented.
+
+An `.edtx` file is converted to a `.dtx` by a little Perl script called
+`edtx2dtx`; there is also a rudimentary Emacs mode, implemented in
+`easydoctex-mode.el`, which takes care of fontification, indentation, and
+forward and inverse search. (The script does what it should, and would really
+deserve version 1.0.0. The Emacs mode, however, is just something that works
+well enough for me.)
