9.1 Definition Syntax
The syntactic rules for form, field and media definitions are as follows:
-
White space space, tab
-
Line continuation backslash (\)
-
Line termination CR, LF, CR/LF; line termination ends a “keyword section” (a keyword and its
value[s])
-
Keywords must be all upper case
-
Names (field/media/font names) any case; case is preserved; service providers are case
sensitive
-
Strings all strings must be enclosed in double quote characters (");
standard C escape sequences are allowed.
-
Comments start with two forward slashes (//), end at line termination
Other notes:
-
The values of a keyword are separated by commas.
-
If a keyword is present, all its values must be specified; default values are used only if the keyword is absent.
-
Values that are character strings are marked with asterisks in the definitions below, and must be quoted as specified above.
