Typographic conventions used in the examples in this reference manual are as follows:
♦
Script commands and reserved words are shown in the preferred case, which may be either
lower-, upper- or mixed-case.
♦
Points are shown in lower-case. Objects are shown in upper-case.
The following terms are used in this reference manual:

Or ('|'). The '|' symbol is used to represent 'or', where there are two or more forms of the same
