# PCGen LST File Class Style Guide

Unless otherwise stated in the individual LST file class, the following are a few standard conventions used to make reading these classes easier.

## General Conventions

Source Text
  Text taken from source will be indicated in bold .
<your text goes here>
  The 'Less Than' (<) and 'Greater Than' (>) signs indicate where your text will be entered when building a LST object. Unless explicitly stated in the lesson text, you will not include the angle brackets in your tags.
<TAB> Delimiting
  Tags in LST files are <TAB> delimited, that is, the tags are separated by TABs. Because this is difficult to show, the LST examples will have their tags separated by simple line breaks with no additional indentation.
TAG
  When referring to a LST tag outside of a LST code example, the tag is displayed in all capital letters.
Extended LST Lines
  To improve readability, long LST tags will be formated with line-breaks with the subsequent lines indented.

## Display Fonts

LST Code
  Text meant to display LST code, including LST objects and tags, will be displayed in `code font` .
LST Objects
  LST objects will be displayed the LST Object Font unless it is being used as part of a LST code example. (See LST Code above)
LstVariables
  LST variables will be displayed the LST Variable Font .
