Mark File

Each line of a Mark File contains either mark information or a comment.

Mark Information

The mark information includes

  • Coordinates
  • Options

and is specified in the form <display content>:<coordinate>, <option>.
Only the coordinates are required, the rest are optional.

Display Contents

The display content consists of the group name and the mark name, and is described with a / separator. Group names can also take on a hierarchical structure.

<group name>/<group name>/... /<mark name>.

If you want to include / or : in the group name or mark name, you need to quote it.

Group 1/"Group 2:3"/"Mark /mark"
