About directives

  

Use the Delimiters directive to define an alternative character or characters to curly brace characters to mark the start and end of PRPC directives.

Ordinarily, curly brace characters { and } mark the start and end of every directive. These curly brace characters are also used in JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheet text, and other languages that make HTML dynamic. In certain situations, some software (other than PRPC) can respond incorrectly when it encounters these characters in HTML.

You can use the Literal directive around the curly braces in source HTML. However, placing the Literal directive around each pair of braces can be tedious or error-prone. You may prefer to override the default syntax for directives.

Use the Delimiters directive to change the default syntax for all directives. You can replace the curly brace characters with other characters of your choice.

For example, use this syntax to make the system recognize the number sign (#) character as the opening character and the at-sign (@) character as the closing character for every directive.

{DELIMITERS OPEN= # CLOSE = @ }
