12.1 Merge Delimiters

Notenik will recognize either of two sets of command and variable delimiters automatically. The choice of delimiters will be triggered by the first command-beginning delimiters encountered. The new delimiters are generally recommended, since they are more likely to be treated kindly by various HTML editors when creating your template files.

Start of Command<<<?
End of Command>>?>
Start of Variable<<=$
End of Variable>>$=
Start of Variable Modifiers&&

Beginning with Version 15.9.0, any of the command/variable delimiters may be escaped by preceding each character with a backslash. Such coding can allow merge variables to have variable names that are constructed in one pass, preserving the escaped characters for processing in a second pass (as with a generated include file).
