1.1) Categories
A dii file is a simple text-file that describes a category, and possibly also
a tree of subcategories of this category. While the file itself represents a
category, the existence of subcategories has to be explicitly mentioned in the
file.
The last line of a dii file must always be comprised of a percent-sign ( '%',
without quotes. ) Therefore, a dii file describing the empty category simply
consists of one line containing a percent-sign. Subcategories can be denoted by
placing their names above the percent-sign:
subcategory1
subcategory2
subcategory3
%
Subcategories of subcategories are denoted by placing their names, preceded by a
forward-slash, starting anywhere to the right of, or at the same horizontal
position as the denotation of the parent category, on the same line or on a
lower line:
category 1/category 1.1/category 1.1.1
/category 1.2
/category 1.3
/category 1.3.1
