<h3 class="section">2.2 Named Definitions</h3>
<a name="index-definitions"></a>

<p>A name is a sequence of characters beginning with an alphabetic character
(<code>a</code> through <code>z</code>) followed by zero or more alpha-numeric
characters and/or separator characters: hyphen (<code>-</code>), underscore
(<code>_</code>) or carat (<code>^</code>).  Names are case insensitive.
</p>
<p>Any name may have multiple values associated with it.  Every name may be
considered a sparse array of one or more elements.  If there is more than
one value, the values my be accessed by indexing the value with
<code>[index]</code> or by iterating over them using the FOR (see <a href="FOR.html#FOR">FOR</a>) AutoGen
macro on it, as described in the next chapter.  Sparse arrays are specified
by specifying an index when defining an entry
(see <a href="Index-Assignments.html#Index-Assignments">Assigning an Index to a Definition</a>).
</p>
<p>There are two kinds of definitions, &lsquo;<samp>simple</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>compound</samp>&rsquo;.
They are defined thus (see <a href="Full-Syntax.html#Full-Syntax">Full Syntax</a>):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">compound_name '=' '{' definition-list '}' ';'

simple-name[2] '=' string ';'

no^text^name ';'
</pre></div>

<p><code>simple-name</code> has the third index (index number 2) defined here.
<code>No^text^name</code> is a simple definition with a shorthand empty string
value.  The string values for definitions may be specified in any of
several formation rules.
