    Cool, it looks very nice. I like the looks. I had the idea to use lines similar as you do, but I never went to actually implement it. I am currently working towards hiding as much as possible of the markup. All those small minor modes I have put up on GitHub are just experiments. I have just uploaded another one up, to hide the tags in headings.
