Words
All X-PLOR statements are composed of words.
- word:==
-
- A one-character word.
- A sequence of nonblank characters that contains no one-character words and that is enclosed by spaces or one-character words.
- A quoted string, i.e., a sequence of any characters enclosed in double quotes (") (a double quote itself can be produced by """ ).
- one-character-word:==
- ) ( : @ =
- one-character-word:==
- ) ( : @ = # ^ ~ + -
Characters between comment braces { } or after an “!" on the same line
are always ignored. The carriage return is treated as a space. Unless
the word is a quoted string, all letters are converted to
uppercase upon parsing.
