| | Slash (punctuation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Note however that the "forward slash" will be translated into a backslash by most versions of DOS and Windows, in contexts where there is little ambiguity with command-line options. | | | In computer programming, the solidus corresponds to Unicode and ASCII character 47, or 0x002F. | | | Many Internet Relay Chat and in-game chat clients use the slash to distinguish commands, such as the ability to join or part a chat room or send a private message to a certain user. |

| | As a consequence, it is not possible to draw up a satisfactory unidimensional classification of the punctuation indicators. | | | In speech, prosody also serves to convey information about the relation between successive clauses, but it is important to emphasise that punctuation cannot be described as a means of representing the prosodic properties of utterances. | | | For this reason, we ourselves in writing this chapter on punctuation have given greater weight to the prescriptions of major style manuals than we have in the chapters on grammar. |
