PyrML tutorial

Hello ! This page explain you how to use PyrML.

PyrML is an acronym for PYRRH4's Markup Language, I just needed a name. If you're here, that's probably because you're using a plugin that PYRRH4 made, and you have a file ending with .pyrml. PyrML is pretty similar to YML, but there are some changes.

Tip : open a .pyrml file with Notepad++, and use Language > Makefile, so you have nice colors !

Basics

• When a line starts by #, it's a comment. Blank lines (with spaces or tabulation) or lines with comments will be ignored and won't affect the configuration.
• The subsections are like classic key/value, without the value, and for each subsection, it's two more space before.
  
• For each line attached to a subsection, it's below the section name and it starts by two spaces.
  
• The character = separates keys and values. You can also use = : > ~ , ; and even use different ones for each lines.

Strings and simple values

Numbers looks like this :
Booleans like this :
And strings looks like this, without "" or '' (and you don't need to escape the "" or '')
Lists

Lists looks like simple values, but with / and on multiple lines :
You can add empty lists with / as well :
Example

Here is a quick comparison of the same YAML and PYRML file :



That's it !

And if you're using Notepad++ or another similar software, use the colors from language "Makefile", which is pretty good.
