2. General Syntax and other important Remarks

Every VRML 1.0 file has to begin with the following line:

#VRML V1.0 ascii

VRML is case-sensitive.

The "#" character begins a comment; all characters until the next newline or crriage return are ignored. The only exception to this is within string fields, where the "#" character is part of the string.

VRML files have the extension '.wrl', the MIME type of VRML is 'x-world/x-vrml'.

Every VRML file contains exactly one VRML node, it is called the scene graph. That node can of course be a group node and contain any number of other nodes.
