I agree with Wendy - they need to find another way. I understand the piracy concerns, but giving up free speech is not the way to go.

It’s been very hard to vocalize against SOPA when I live in Nashville and 1/3 of my contacts are in the music business, who all want it passed. I still have to speak out that it is a bad law and that my musician friends need to find another way. I have no idea what the Committee is going to do with it now that it is back in their laps for reconsideration.

Thanks for the link to Lockdown. That was a blast from the past for me.

Giulio: You definitely will get a closing tag if there is any nested content.  The relevant difference is when there is no nested content.  Consider:

_script src="/jquery-min.js"

vs:

_br

In the former, you want a close tag (at least when the content is served with the MIME type of text/html).  In the latter you do not.

In the example cited, if you omit the !, the output will look like this:

<p>
  Hello 
  <span class="name">Sam</span>
  !
</p>

While pretty, this will have the unfortunate side effect of inserting a space between the name and the exclamation mark in the output.

Both the paragraph created by _p "Hello #{$param.name}!" in the first example and the one created by _p! { _ "Hello "; _span $param.name, class: 'name'; _ '!' } in the exclamation-mark-overrides-closing-tag-behavior example show opening and closing tags for p. Just a typo, a bug, or am I missing something about the exclamation mark overriding feature?
