======Use Command======

The ''Use'' command allows [[PTPScript:Directives|Directives]] to be set. A Directive is a core language setting. Once a Directive has been set, the behaviour of PTPScript will change accordingly, until another Directive in the same group is set.

There is just one command in the ''Use'' family - the ''Use'' command itself. It consists of the command followed by one or more Directives, separated by commas.

For example:

<code ptpscript>
{ use GreedyLinebreakSuppression, WhitespaceSuppression }
</code>

In the example above, the behaviour of the [[PTPScript:Basic Syntax:Whitespace#Whitespace Suppression Symbols|whitespace suppression symbols]] is being modified so that multiple linebreaks will be suppressed, and single sequences of other whitespace will be suppressed.

''Use'' commands can appear within other command structures.

<note tip>
Directives are case-insensitive.
