I have already read the PGN "standard" by S.J.Edwards (1994.03.12).
Part of it is a definition/description of EPD.
While for PGN there are several methods defined how to write comments:
- a semicolon (;) introduces a comment up to the end of the line,
- a left brace character ({) upto the next right brace (}), and
- a percent sign (%) in column 1 upto the end of the line,
there seems to be no method supplied to embed comments into a file
otherwise consisting of EPD lines.
Is there some usual method already accepted by some EPD scanners?
I would like to use the semicolon notation of PGN also in EPD
(i.e. an EPD line starts with ";" and is a comment line, therefore).
Would that be acceptable for existing software?
What else? How about a leading hashmark (#)?
