NAME

Perl6::Pod::FormattingCode::R - Replaceable item

SYNOPSIS

Then enter your details at the prompt:

=for input
    Name: B<R<your surname>>
      ID: B<R<your employee number>>
    Pass: B<R<your 36-letter password>>

DESCRIPTION

The R<> formatting code specifies that the contained text is a replaceable item, a placeholder, or a metasyntactic variable. It is used to indicate a component of a syntax or specification that should eventually be replaced by an actual value. For example:

The basic C<ln> command is: C<ln> R<source_file> R<target_file>

or:

Then enter your details at the prompt:

=for input
    Name: R<your surname>
      ID: R<your employee number>
    Pass: R<your 36-letter password>

Typically replaceables would be rendered in fixed-width italics or with <var>...</var> tags. The font used should be the same as that used for the C<> code, unless the R<> is inside a K<> or T<> code (or the equivalent =input or =output blocks), in which case their respective fonts should be used.
