Form Definition Notation

Forms are defined using an easy to learn and easy to write markup language known as Form Definition Notation. Lets see a few examples to get started.

The @ symbol

A line starting with the at symbol (@) marks the start of a new form field.
Following the @ symbol, provide the name of the data field. Like name, email, phone, gender, message and so on. Then provide a space and provide a descriptive label to the field.

List of options

To turn a field in to a drop down of options, follow the line with the @ symbol with a list of options starting each line with a - symbil.

Make a field optional

To make a field optional, write "optional" just after the field definition line.

Large message box

Just after the field definition line, put "format note"
