XY-> 1. If you use an underline character in stead of the hyphen for labels, the
-> won't split at the end of a line.
-> 2. Labels are case-sensitive (as I keep rediscovering!). I've found that
-> sometimes my XPL programs are easier to read and revise if the labels are i
-> uppercase or in a mixture, as in ≪LB_MainLoop≫ or ≪LB_WHERE≫.
Thank you, XyW, but credit to my annotating goes to Nathan
Sivin. After not showing (or really doing) any XPL for years, I
had sent him two programs; he commented that they were
unintelligible. I thought, Huh--my programming's crystal. Then I
tried reading my programs and wondered, Why did I do that? And
I then realized that notes helped me as much as anyone else.
Thank you for the tips: You're quite right about the underline;
it's far more readable, as is the use of mixed case. (I've seen
it, edited it, but it never occurred to me.)
XY-> BTW (I'm new to the group) -- has anyone done a macro that changes mailing
-> list listings to XPL?
What format are you referring to? Data from a database?
