Alternate Name Marker
The first special marking is the '|' character, which indicates the start of an alternate name. The primary name is always the one listed first, and any alternate names should follow it and be separated by the '|' character. For example, the following shows a string consisting of a primary and two alternate names:

My Primary Name|My First Alternate Name|My Second Alternate Name

If you wish to include an actual '|' character as part of a name, you may escape it using a second '|' character. Thus, the string "This has a ||" will be output as "This has a |".

Language Marker
Each name may have a language associated with it by using the special marking "{LXXX", where XXX is a three-letter code that tells which language the name is for. This marking may occur anywhere within the string, and it will be removed when the string is processed by the map building software. See the Language Codes table for a list of supported languages and their respective codes. An example string that has names for multiple languages is the following:

My English Name{LENG|{LSPAMy Spanish Name|My{LFRE French Name

The primary name will be displayed when none of the names are in the language the user has selected.
