Easy Button Markup Language (EBML) Cheat Sheet

Lines that begin with "//" are comments, and are ignored by Stanhope.

// This is a comment
Context | This is NOT a comment!
/ This is also not a comment... it's not a valid EBML line!

Whitespace and tab characters are generally ignored before and after the pipe characters ("|"), so you can make your EBML source files visually structured to your liking.

For instance, this

Section | Prepare all procedure materials
 
	Step | Gather EGSE
		Resource | Calibrated Multimeter
 
	Step | Note the time, temperature, and humidity

...is equivalent to...

Section|Prepare all procedure materials
Step|Gather EGSE
Resource|Calibrated Multimeter
Step|Note the time, temperature, and humidity

The first one is easier to read and maintain, but both are equivalent.

Best Practices: include these lines at the top of your EBML file:
