Syntax notes.

id

* Identification line.

Example of use:

\id MAT 41matgua.ptx UTF8 Matthew Guarani-Paraguay Tito Lahaye mm/dd/yyyy

ide

\ide_ENCODING

* Character encoding specification.

* This marker should be used to specify the character encoding of the text in the file. For example: CP-1252, CP-1251, UTF-8, UTF-16, OR Custom <specify font name>. If the character encoding does not conform to a standard, but is rather a custom/hacked solution for the project, a minimum of the name of the font used for the project should be included. However, for archive purposes texts which relied upon a custom encoding solution should be converted to UTF-8 or UTF-16.

Example of use:

\ide UTF-8
\ide CP-1252
\ide Custom (TGUARANI.TTF)

* This version may be used when only one level of \h is in use within the project.
