<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="General_characteristics">General characteristics</span>
</h2>
<p>
A gfs file has the following general characteristics:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Encoding is UTF-8 (without Byte Order Mark)
</li>
<li>
Line-endings should be <code>\n</code> not <code>\r\n</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<dl>
<dd>
There is support for <code>\r\n</code>, but for safety's sake, please use <code>\n</code>.
</dd>
</dl>
<ul>
<li>
Text is case-sensitive. There is a difference between <code>app</code> and <code>APP</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Comments">Comments</span>
</h2>
<p>
Comments can be indicated by the conventional C comments of <code>//</code> or <code>/**/</code>. For example, any text between <code>/*</code> and <code>*/</code> is ignored.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Whitespace">Whitespace</span>
</h2>
<p>
Whitespace is not significant. There is no difference between the following commands.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
no whitespace
</li>
</ul>
<pre>
app.wikis.get('en.wikipedia.org');
</pre>
<ul>
<li>
multiple spaces (ASCII 32)
</li>
</ul>
<pre>
app . wikis . get ( 'en.wikipedia.org' ) ;
</pre>
<ul>
<li>
spaces and new lines (ASCII 32 and ASCII 10)
</li>
</ul>
<pre>
app
. wikis
. get ( 'en.wikipedia.org' )
;
</pre>
<p>
Note that tabs (ASCII 9) and carriage returns (ASCII 13) are permitted but not recommended.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Quotes">Quotes</span>
</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Strings should be quoted. Quote characters are the apostrophe (<code>'</code>) or the quote (<code>"</code>). Note that <code>'</code> is often used.
</li>
<li>
A special quote sequence of <code>&amp;lt:['\n</code> and <code>\n}':]&gt;</code> is used to handle text with significant delimiters
</li>
</ul>
<dl>
<dd>
For example, the following is identical to <code>app.wikis.get('en.wikipedia.org');</code>
</dd>
</dl>
<pre>
app.wikis.get(
&lt;:['
en.wikipedia.org
']:&gt;
);
</pre>
<dl>
<dd>
Note that this quote sequence allows processing a mixture of various syntax forms without escaping. This is especially useful for wiki text which can have elements of HTML and significant other symbols.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Booleans">Booleans</span>
</h2>
<p>
Booleans can be indicated in different forms as per the following table:
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Value
</td>
<td>
<b>true</b>
</td>
<td>
<b>false</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Text (uppercase)
</td>
<td>
<code>'TRUE'</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>'FALSE'</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Text (lowercase)
</td>
<td>
<code>'true'</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>'false'</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Text (simple)
</td>
<td>
<code>'y'</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>'n'</code>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Number
</td>
<td>
<code>1</code>
</td>
<td>
<code>0</code>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
Note that for brevity's sake, <code>'y'</code> and <code>'n'</code> will be used.
</p>
<h2>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Integers">Integers</span>
</h2>
<p>
Integers can be indicated with or without quotes. Note that without quotes is recommended.
</p>
<p>
Integers can not include commas or decimal places. For example, <code>1,234</code> is not valid. Use <code>1234</code> instead.
