Associate a special text-processing function with a
single character.
Define a new special character for a given special function:
<special-function> <new-special-character>
Restore the previous special character (if any)
for a given special function:
<special-function>
The <special-function> can be one of the following:
- 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.
The <new-special-character> can be any non-blank character.
If no <new-special-character>
is specified, the previous corresponding special character (if any) is
automatically restored.
