The meaning of the attribute
value depends on the attribute itself. In general, the values
can be of several types:
-
String
-
Any string of characters except newline.
-
String List
-
A sequence of strings separated by whitespace. Individual
strings within the list cannot be quoted and therefore
cannot contain whitespace.
-
Quoted String List
-
A sequence of strings separated by whitespace. Individual
strings within the list may be quoted using single or double
quotes. The quotes are needed when the individual strings
contain whitespace. If you want a quote mark or a backslash
to be inserted as-is into a string, you must preceed it with
a backslash.
-
Number
-
A string that represents a number. The attribute determines
if the number has to be a pure integer or if it can be a
floating point number.
-
Boolean
-
A string that represents a truth value. Acceptable truth
values are given below.
