Re: [WebDNA] rules for naming [math] and [text] vars

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2008


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 100743
interpreted = N
texte = There is a limit on the length of math variables, and it's 15. For text, it's 254 I think. The docs do mention the 15 limit on math, and also that it must start with a letter, and must be alphanumeric. I found this out for real when I named something longer and it would only set as a variable for the first 15 chars.
