[edit] Suggested merge
Delimited has more links to it, but I don't like the idea of a past tense word for the article name. Plinth molecular gathered 15:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] merge done ;; content restructured ;; still needs copy editing and link fixes
- Proposed deletion for delimiters which is now covered in this article under bracket delimiters
- changed delimited to delimiter separated values
- reworked intro paragraph
- article still could use editing for tone, accuracy and cross-refs

[edit] content added ;; terminology issues
the term 'entity' was removed as potentially confusing (overlaps with character entities). For now, the term "region of text" is used as a substitute. At issue is: what is a suitable term to use when talking abstractly about different lexical elements of text that get bounded, and therefore defined, by delimiters (eg. comments, fields, records, xml tags, etc). This could use some more research. drefty.mac 03:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dependent internal links
Some of the sections of this article are directly linked by other articles. If you make changes to the headers, please also fix the links.

[edit] GA review
This is a pretty good article, but doesn't meet the good article criteria yet. The inline citations are inadequate, as some sections are entirely unreferenced. Also, the section "ASCII armor" is too vague -- it's basically just a mention that something called "ASCII armor" exists, without any real discussion of what it is or where it's applied. The article could also go into a little more detail about which programming languages use which delimiters. Twinxor t 14:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
One thing I'd like to add as well - take the list out of the lead and work it into the prose. That would help it flow better. Readro 22:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
