Suppose the following are two input lines for X-PLOR:
this is {comment} a (test): method=testing procedure=
parsing ! comment
The information that X-PLOR will receive from the parsing routines
will then consist of a stream of words
THIS IS A ( TEST ) : METHOD = TESTING PROCEDURE = PARSINGIn particular, the spacing and the carriage return have no influence on the interpretation of the input.
