  • argdelim [Initial value: comma (',')]
    Separator of parameters for Tefigel subroutine or function call's.

  • callkey [Initial value: tilde ('~')]
    In-line function call marker: on output, the in-line function call is replaced by the string (if any) returned by the called function.

  • dash [Initial value: none]
    String concatenation operator, also used to create name-value associations, which can be used for traditional data structures such as records and arrays.

  • escape [Initial value: none]
    Escape character within lists of parameters in function or subroutine calls.

  • linebreak [Initial value: none]
    Logical line concatenation operator, used to split long input logical lines into two or more input physical lines.
