Pseudo-text

The character-strings and separators that comprise pseudo-text can start in either Area A or Area B. If, however, there is a hyphen in the indicator area (column 7) of a line that follows the opening pseudo-text delimiter, Area A of the line must be blank, and the rules for continuation lines apply to the formation of text words. See Continuation lines for details.
