=== Statements ===
:1. Matching '{' and '}' can be used as third set of quotes to delimit other-text, as in main section item 8.
 
=== Statements: ===
:1. 'Statement' is a text block that begins with a command name, and is followed by any other text, and ends with line-end or semi-colon. A new statement can begin adjacent to the previous statements ending delimiter.

=== Parameters: ===
=== Parameters ===
'Statements' intrinsically contain only a 'command' and the optional 'other text'. A command can treat the 'other text' as a whole parameter, or as divided into multiple parameters.

::''Note: Only useful in a multiline script file, and only works for default commands, like in the 'lua' and 'js' contexts, to pass a multi-line code block to the default command, for passing to the Lua and JS runtimes.''
> bob
In a script named 'startup.cfg':
'bob' is 'fred james'
</kua>
==== Special delimiters ====
:1. Back ticks surrounding text passed directly to a context will be stripped. Normally all text is passed verbatim, including quotes. Back ticks effectively treat the rest of the statement as a block for a multi-line statement. Quotes are not removed normally as they may be important to the context's command processing. Back ticks are special in that they will be removed from the start and end of the script statement. Without this special behavior, there would be no way to run a multi-line command block for an associated context, without switching to it first.

</kua>
: When addressing the context directly, all of the 'other text' that is not the command simply gets passed to the context. At the top, print "bob" gets run in 'lua' context. The second fails as 'print "bob"' is not valid for the context or Lua. The third runs usingthe run command as a normal parameter to 'run'. While it will run multiline Lua scripts, text still won't be running as a set of context commands.
