<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Entries in the journal resemble an environment block in
|
|
their syntax but with fields that can include binary data.
|
|
Primarily, fields are formatted UTF-8 text strings, and binary
|
|
formatting is used only where formatting as UTF-8 text strings
|
|
makes little sense. New fields may freely be defined by
|
|
applications, but a few fields have special meaning. All fields
|
|
with special meanings are optional. In some cases, fields may
|
|
appear more than once per entry.</para>
