| - | //The base definition of ABNF (Augmented Backus-Naur Form) supports US-ASCII string literals. The matching of these literals is done in a case-insensitive manner. While this is often the desired behavior, in some situations, case-sensitive matching of string literals is needed. Literals for case-sensitive matching must be specified using the numeric representation of those characters, which is inconvenient and error prone both to write and read.// | + | //The base definition of ABNF (Augmented Backus-Naur Form) supports [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:ascii|US-ASCII]] string literals.

These types are denoted using type prefixes similar to the type prefixes used with numeric values.
