Editing Dylan (programming language) (section)

===Lexical syntax===
Dylan is not [[Case sensitivity|case sensitive]]. Dylan's [[lexical syntax]] allows the use of a naming convention where [[hyphen-minus|hyphen (minus)]] signs are used to connect the parts of multiple-word identifiers (sometimes called "[[lisp-case]]" or "[[kebab case]]"). This convention is common in Lisp languages.

Besides [[alphanumeric]] characters and hyphen-minus signs, Dylan allows a variety of non-alphanumeric characters as part of identifiers. Identifiers may not consist of these non-alphanumeric characters alone.<ref name="refman"/> If there is any ambiguity, whitespace is used.
