Yes. This is certainly not ideal, but it is workable. Since it is unlikely 
that the built in emacs parsing / indentation will be able to handle my 
modified syntax, I think I have no choice for the short term. For the 
longer term, I definitely want to work out how to customise the indentation 
for my purposes. But I think for that I will need a lot more knowledge of 
Emacs and Lisp than I currently have.
