Delimiters

In the SGML usage, a concrete syntax is a set of specific delimiters, while the abstract syntax is the set of names for the delimiters.

Additionally, the use of the "less than" and "greater than" signs as delimiters is problematic for tools (such as text editors ) which analyze source code syntactically.

Also, each element can have an associated delimiter map (and short reference map), which determines which characters are treated as delimiters in context.

Anything outside its delimiters is not processed by PHP, although non-PHP text is still subject to control structures described in PHP code.

A SAB file uses delimiters between elements and binary tags, without additional formatting.

At the string parsing level parse must handle the "low level" parsing, taking into account characters and delimiters.

Comments delimited by /* and */ do not nest, and these sequences of characters are not interpreted as comment delimiters if they appear inside string or character literals. citation C source files contain declarations and function definitions.

In some cases, such as sed and Perl, alternative delimiters can be used to avoid collision with contents, and to avoid having to escape occurrences of the delimiter character in the contents.

Interwiki links on wikis based on free links, such as Wikipedia, typically follow the same principle, but using the delimiters that would be used for internal links.

It is difficult for such tools to determine whether a use of these tokens is as comparison operators or template delimiters.

Strings and regular expressions have different standard delimiters.

Syntax main JSP pages use several delimiters for scripting functions.
