= Quotes We do not always want verbatum clauses to be interpreted as code. Sometimes it would more useful to trest them a plan text to which the preceeding paragraph can make use in a processing rule. For example let say we want to make an example out of the following text... The file will contain this text The use of the ellipsis ('...') tells the processor that the next segment is a continuation of the current segment. If the next segment is varbatum it will be added to the end of the arguments list of any applicable processing rule. Behind the scenes we created a rule to set the text to an instance variable called @quote_text, as we can now verify: @quote_text.assert == "The file will contain\n\nthis text"
