General syntax rules

Following are general syntax rules:

• Wherever a space appears, you can substitute any amount of white space (spaces, tabs, line breaks). The white space is mandatory except at the very beginning or end of a comment.
• Attributes can be given in any order. For example, in a TemplateParam, you can specify the type before the name.
• Comment and attribute names are case sensitive.
• All attributes must be in quotation marks. Single or double quotes can be used.

For information about checking your syntax, see Checking template syntax.
