<h1>xAsm Syntax</h1>
<p>The syntax line‐based, just as in any other assembler. Meaning that you do one instruction or pseudo‐op per line:</p>
<pre>[label] [instruction] [;comment]</pre>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre>John:          ld   a,87 ;Weee</pre>
<p>A comment can also be an asterisk (*) followed by the comment if the asterisk is the first character on the line:</p>
<pre>********************************
* These are full line comments *
********************************</pre>
<p>All pseudo‐ops, mnemonics and registers (reserved keywords) are <em>case‐insensitive</em> and all labels are <em>case‐sensitive</em>.</p>
