Hi there,

I'm documenting a base I'm building. So I'm wondering which identifier quoting characters to consistently use to refer to bases, tables, and fields.

I'm hesitating between backticks ``and curly brackets {}for fields, and I'm at a loss on what to choose for bases and tables.

Any idea?

Thanks.

I probably should have thought more about this before I started doing something similar (but probably much smaller).  The thing that jumps out to me is using curly brackets for fields, but in my case I include formulas in the the document so I can remain consistent in the usage (and allows me to cut an paste more easily).

Good luck, and if you do make a choice that you're happy with please share.
