## file format the nitasema \*.n file format is based on simplified s-exps. it is designed primarily as an intermediate format for a forthcoming GUI editor but in the meantime it's perfectly intelligible to humans to and only slightly verbose. lines can be commented out with the `;` character. there are currently no multiline comments. whitespace is used to delimit values and is otherwise insignificant. the data types are atoms, strings, and lists. strings are delimited by single-quotes (`'`) and can span any number of lines. lists are delimited by `[` and `]` (not the more usual parentheses, for ease of typing). atoms may contain any character in the ascii range '-' ~ 'z' | 'A' ~ 'Z' and any unicode character outside the ascii range. backslash (`\\`) can escape single quotes in a string. the first term in the \*.n file must be a string naming the story. it may be followed by atoms to mark various flags. ### flags * `by`: sets the author. takes a string argument. currently has no effect on output. (`by 'alexis hale'`) * `flags`: declares booleans. must be followed by a list of booleans. (`flags [bloodsoaked screaming bleeding]`) * `vars`: declares variables. must be followed by a list of variables. (`vars [health sanity terror]`) |

## file format
the nitasema \*.n file format is based on simplified s-exps. it is designed primarily as an intermediate format for a forthcoming GUI editor but in the meantime it's perfectly intelligible to humans to and only slightly verbose.
lines can be commented out with the `;` character. there are currently no multiline comments.
whitespace is used to delimit values and is otherwise insignificant.
the data types are atoms, strings, and lists. strings are delimited by single-quotes (`'`) and can span any number of lines. lists are delimited by `[` and `]` (not the more usual parentheses, for ease of typing). atoms may contain any character in the ascii range '-' ~ 'z' \| 'A' ~ 'Z' and any unicode character outside the ascii range. backslash (`\\`) can escape single quotes in a string.
the first term in the \*.n file must be a string naming the story. it may be followed by atoms to mark various flags.
### flags
* `by`: sets the author. takes a string argument. currently has no effect on output. (`by 'alexis hale'`)
* `flags`: declares booleans. must be followed by a list of booleans. (`flags [bloodsoaked screaming bleeding]`)
* `vars`: declares variables. must be followed by a list of variables. (`vars [health sanity terror]`)
