Other Lexicon Conventions

Entries are sorted in case-blind ASCII collation order (rather than

the letter-by-letter order ignoring interword spacing common in

mainstream dictionaries), except that all entries beginning with

nonalphabetic characters are sorted after Z. The case-blindness is a

feature, not a bug.

The beginning of each entry is marked by a colon (:) at the left

margin. This convention helps out tools like hypertext browsers that

benefit from knowing where entry boundaries are, but aren't as

context-sensitive as humans.

In pure ASCII renderings of the Jargon File, you will see {} used to

bracket words which themselves have entries in the File. This isn't

done all the time for every such word, but it is done everywhere that

a reminder seems useful that the term has a jargon meaning and one

might wish to refer to its entry.

In this all-ASCII version, headwords for topic entries are

distinguished from those for ordinary entries by being followed by

"::" rather than ":"; similarly, references are surrounded by "{{" and

"}}" rather than "{" and "}".
