{ Curly Brace }
Initiates or terminates a code block
Curly braces are used to denote the start and end of a code block.
Like with the single quotation marks ('
), any code inside a
curly brace is not parsed. Also unlike any other quotation tokens, the
curly brace is included as part of the parsed string.
» out {example}
{example}
Also like the brace quote ((
, )
), the curly
brace character is only recognized as a curly brace token if it is the
start of a parameter.
Curly braces are also used for other fields besides code blocks. For example inlining JSON.
Curly braces can work over multiple lines
» out {foo
» bar}
{foo
bar}
Curly braces can be used to terminate the parsing of the command name and/or parameters too:
if{true}{out Yipee}
Curly braces can be nested:
» out {{foo} bar}
{{foo} bar}
Some builtins (like out
) also support infixing using the
curly brace. eg
out "{GREEN}PASSED{RESET}"
This is a separate layer of parsing and happens at the parameter level for specific builtins which opt to support ANSI constants. See the ANSI Constant user guide (link below) for more information on supporting builtins and which constants are available.
