Syntactically, WOM is a superset of HTML. WOM commands start with an left pointed bracket followed by a name, and may take a sequence of arguments before terminating with a right pointed bracket. The standard way to pass arguments is by keyword rather than position, but the WOM compiler allows some commonly used arguments to be passed also by position:
<TextField t> <TextField id=t value="" size=10> <Menu TaxRates options=[0,5,10,15,20,22 to 40 by 2]> <Menu VATChange options=["Scrap it!":0, "Double it!":2]> <Attribute a>
Some commands act as brackets, and must be terminated by a closing
bracket, in the same way as HTML commands like FORM and
BLOCKQUOTE. These include WOMForm and OnSubmit.
