Instructions

The components of a config (configuration) are the Header, Footer, Features, Comments, and Validations. Each component of the tree is defined by writing Instructions. Instructions are written with the Instruction Bar. Writing instructions is very much like writing a sentence with phrases and words. The topic Writing an Instruction will elaborate on how to write Instructions.

Expanding the tree structure of a component will reveal its instructions. If no instructions have been written, five blank instructions will be provided, indicated by the word 'Undefined'.

Special Characters

There are certain strings that can be used with some of these instructions, these are:

·        `R - represents Next Return

·        `T - represents Next Tab

·        `N - New Line, used similar to 'R, these two are interchangeable depending on the input file type. If 'R does not work the 'N would be the command to use.
