History of Syntax

FilterMeister actually supports several plug-in filter design languages, including

* Adobe's original Filter Factory (FF) language,

* Mario Klingemann's Filter Factory Wizard (FFW),

* the extended Filter Factory Plus (FFP) language, and

* the all-encompassing FilterMeister Language (FML)

As such, the syntax of the total union of all languages is rather complex, but may be more readily understood by examining the syntax of each component language individually.
