found a couple of interesting problems.

after a bunch of guessing, fiddling and reading, I figured out something from the debugging logs.

[span[class label] once you've made changes to the above information, you must save it so it can take effect]

I added the missing space after "span" and the problem went away. As a sidenote, while I don't think this space is technically required after a keyword or argument name, I think it's a good idea. Anyway, a new error showed up.

 File "/home/esj/projects/akasha/akasha_test/vacation_test.akasha", line 19
    onload="doSomething()"
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[Finished in 0.1s with exit code 1]

I've tried triple quoting it but no luck.  I am not sure how to change the parser to handle this. remember that after the keyword, after all the arguments are complete, there is a free text region to the end defined as a]. The region may be triple quoted but probably won't be unless there's something that needs protecting or escaping. The free format text may also contain more keywords as in:

[bold this is some [reveal special] text]

Which has this whole recursive vibe going on.

other generic problems

[span [class label]I want the message to say:]

there is no need for a space before or after a closing bracket  see examples:

[div [class center]]

[textarea [class data] [reveal_raw message] [name message] [rows 7] [columns 50]]

[div [class center]
[button [name commit] [class button] [value save] [type submit]]
]

ideas??
