Comment Post #286107 I checked through the help files but I failed to find any post describing the scope of this site and what's on-topic/off-topic. Analysing existing written fiction seems like something that should be addressed, particularly if it means analysing the content and writing style. (Which sounds like a huge...

Answer A: Syntax summaries use brackets for optional elements; how do I represent literal brackets in a way readers will understand?
Official ISO programming standards that describe programming language syntax etc often use opt to mark an argument as optional (with "OPT" in italics). So I would propose to write > ARRAY[data-type, countopt] This has the advantage that the abbreviation "OPT" is kind of self-explanatory and you...
