2.4.1)  Control Characters

The following characters are called 'control characters' in the dii file format:
   # : ; , & ^ | ( ) = \
The following character sequences are also called ‘control characters' in the dii file format:
   -> <- +> && ||
Every line in a dii file that begins or ends with a control character is joined with the line above it or below it, respectively. In case of a ')' or '(' control character this is only done when this character is at the beginning, respectively the end of a line. In case of a '\' control character this character is removed in the process.

The joining of a line that ends with a control character with the line below it can be avoided by adding a '}' character after the respective control character. This extra character is ignored by the parser.
