Introduction
Syntax
Libri
Programs are separated into libri (singular liber), which are initiated with the magic word Liber. Any input after this word is ignored, allowed only for human readability (i.e., for organization). The first liber is always a comment section, again, for human readability and organization. Libri describe functions or other objects.
String rewriting
String rewriting is described in tables, initiated with the magic word Table. Each term is written to the left and its replacement written to the right (either with a tab U+0009 or five spaces U+0020).
Input
Input is handled on a special liber entitled diary.
Sample programs
Hello World
Liber I A hello world program. Liber II Table of Correspondence J Hello World Diary J.
