File format....      Notes version 19 May 11

1)
Header lines... whatever you want, as many as you want, as long as none STARTS <!--q-->

2)
As many QUOTE RECORDS as you want.
File should end after last quote record ends.

   Quote Record:

Each quote record consists of....

1: A line starting <!--q-->

(1a:) An optional line feed

2: A single line with the quote. (It may be a continuation of the <!--q--> line, or a new line, decided by whether you chose to include the optional line feed.) The term "line" here is used in the sense that the computer means it. The "line" may be displayed across several SCREEN "lines", due to wordwrap.

3: A line starting <!--s-->

(3a:) An optional line feed

4: A single line with the source of the quote.

THE LAST QUOTE RECORD MUST HAVE both a "q" section AND an "s" section. Other quote records do not need elements 3 and 4. (The program will check that this condition has been met, and give you an error message if it isn't.)

Within the quote records, any spaces at the start of
a line will be stripped out.

The file may contain blank lines. They will be ignored, apart from being stripped out when the file is loaded into a quote serving application, to accellerate processing. The <!--q--> and <!--s--> tags are also altered for the same reason. They become qq and qs at the start of lines. As a consequence, no quote or souce may start "qq" or "qs". (The program checks that this is so, and will throw an error message at you if you slip up.)

The file may have lines beginning with a semicolon (;). They will be ignored, apart from being stripped out when the file of quotes is loaded into the Quote Machine. (They are provided to allow file authors to include comments within the file.) (If a line begins with one or more spaces, and then a semicolon, it
will also be considered a comment line.)

The <!--q--> and <!--s--> tags must be at the start of lines. They may be on their own lines, or start the line they flag. Again, the extra line feeds are stripped out when the quotes file is loaded, so they won't "cost" processing time, if you want to insert them for clarity.

(See also ";Last quote record MUST ..." at end of file. (This line also shows tyou that a semicolon MAY appear WITHIN a line without meaning anything special. It is only at the START of a line that it means "This line is merely a comment.")

Apart from the few restrictions mentioned above, a line may hold any printable character. Thus HTML tags MAY be included in the file. The Quote Machine won't do anything with them, but when the same code is used to "feed" quotes to a larger program, THAT program MAY be sending quotes to web pages, in which case the HTML will, eventually, be processed.

"We thought: we're poor, we have nothing, but when we started losing one after the other so each day became remembrance day, we started composing poems about God's great generosity and all our former riches."

"The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words; whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words."

"Some would say that it is too idealistic to believe in a society based on tolerance and the sanctity of human life, where borders, nationalities and ideologies are of marginal importance. To those I say, this is not idealism, but rather realism, because history has taught us that war rarely resolves our differences. Force does not heal old wounds; it opens new ones."

"It is difficult to know yourself if you do not know others. To all Ways there are side-tracks. If you study a Way daily, and your spirit diverges, you may think you are obeying a good way, but objectively it is not the true Way. If you are following the true Way and diverge a little, this will later become a large divergence. You must realise this."

"If one is but secure at the foundation, he will not be pained by departure from minor details or affairs that are contrary to expectation. But in the end, the details of a matter are important. The right and wrong of one's way of doing things are found in trivial matters."
