(Prepared before Nick's latest emails) Point of clarification: when I stated that tokens would always be separated by whitespace, I did not have in mind the contents of bracketed constructs; for the purposes of this discussion I consider that the whole bracketed construct is a single token (which is obviously a simplification). I'm not sure in which sense Brian understood this condition. So to answer Herbert's question: 2. When writing any quoted construct, we would always follow the tailing quote with whitespace. Thus in writing a bracketed series of quoted strings, we would follow each trailing quote with a space before the comma or close bracket, but on read would accept a comma coming immediately after the close quote. Is that correct? No: I had in mind that spaces would have to follow quoted constructs only for quoted constructs outside brackets. Inside brackets, a comma or close bracket could also directly follow quoted constructs (and unquoted constructs). Incidentally, I don't understand the need to distinguish between reading and writing. -- T +61 (02) 9717 9907 F +61 (02) 9717 3145 M +61 (04) 0249 4148 _______________________________________________ ddlm-group mailing list ddlm-group@iucr.org http://scripts.iucr.org/mailman/listinfo/ddlm-group
