Definitions and Operators in DekiScript

Comment

//<text> 

The key to writing good code is to leave comments along the way explaining why you chose to do things the way you did. Use two forward slashes // to comment out text that is not to be displayed. Comments are notes to yourself and to other coders explaining your code. Comments do not affect your code.

//This is a comment

Hyperlink

<a href="http://www.hyperlink.com">"Text for your hyperlink"</a>

In DekiScript, hyperlinks are created the same way they are created in HTML. Just place the URL between quotation marks after the href, and the text that you want to link to between quotation marks before the </a> tag.
