Editing Scriptio continua (section)

=== Modern Latin script ===
A form of {{lang|la|scriptio continua}} has become common in internet e-mail addresses and [[domain name]]s where, because the "space" character is invalid, the address for a website for "Example Fake Website" is written as <code>examplefakewebsite.com</code> – without spaces between the separate words. However, the "underscore" or "dash" characters are often used as stand-ins for the "space" character when its use would be invalid and their use would not be.

As another example, so-called [[camel case]]—in which the first letter of each word is capitalized—has become part of the culture of many [[computer programming language]]s. In this context, names of [[variable (programming)|variable]]s and [[subroutine]]s as well as other [[identifier (computer languages)|identifier]]s are rendered easier to read, as in <code>MaxDataRate</code>. Camel case can also eliminate ambiguity: <code>CharTable</code> might name a table of characters, whereas <code>Chartable</code> could ask or answer the question, "Can (something) be charted?"
