# TEXT

TEXT

A comment string containing any ASCII characters.

Description

Comments are ignored by the ESL processor. Any text from the comment character (#) to the end of the line is considered part of the comment, even quotation marks and additional comment characters. A comment character always begins a comment except when you include it in a quoted string.

Examples

box 50 50 # This draws a box

string variable X_SV is " # not a comment "

# But this is.
