- The first category on each
- line of an index file names an information file.
- The remaining categories specify the order and contents of
- the data in each line of the
- information file.
- Information files have the same syntax.
- Backslash `\\' is used as with
- .it sh
- (I) to quote syntactically
- significant characters or to insert transparent
- newlines into a line.
- When either a question or its answer is empty,
- .it quiz
- will refrain from asking it.
