Considering this, Text is discussed on the front page of the Wikibook.

A novice might catch that before abandoning Oberon.  Suggestions 
to improve the section are welcome.

The compilers ignore niceties of typography.  Building an Oberon 
system without changing the compiler and with strictly ASCII txt files 
is conceivable.  An ETH Oberon derivative might attract significant 
attention.  ...        =8~)
