Command Structure
MPI could be viewed as a form of markup language as instructions are encapsulated within bracket marks to differentiate them from regular text. The MPI command is specified first, followed by a colon, and then command arguments, separated by commas. If one of the arguments is a string that contains a comma, it is escaped by using a backslash or the {lit:} (for literal) command.
{ command : argument1, argument2 }Commands can be nested, taking the place of one or more arguments within the parent command to form more complex code:
{tell: {name:me} just looked at {name:this}., {owner:this}}Read more about this topic: Message Parsing Interpreter
Famous quotes containing the words command and/or structure:
“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
