Inputs

Outputs

quot/f

a parsed quotation, or f indicating end of file

Word description
Reads a Factor expression which possibly spans more than one line from input-stream. Additional lines of input are read while the parser stack height is greater than one. Since structural parsing words push partial quotations on the stack, this will keep on reading input until all delimited parsing words are terminated.
