Letter case of names

For element names, ViviFire distinguishes between upppercase and lowercase. The compiler identifies two names as different if they have different letter cases. For example, ABC and abc refer to different declared elements.

Note: ViviFire keywords ignore letter case. For example, END and end are the same keyword. If you must use a keyword as an element name, write it between backticks, for example, `End`. See Keywords as Element Names for more information.
