Editing Script File Structure (section)

== Whitespace ==
Whitespace in Papyrus is unimportant, with the exception of line terminators which are explained below. Whitespace may be inserted anywhere as long as it doesn't split up a [[Keyword Reference|keyword]], [[Operator Reference|operator]], [[Literals Reference|literal]] or similar.

=== Examples ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="papyrus">
; Valid use of white space (if perhaps not as readable)
x     =    (10+1*    2 ) as   float
</syntaxhighlight>
<br>
<syntaxhighlight lang="papyrus">
; Whitespace between the two equals signs in an equality operator will be interpreted as two equals signs, and fail to compile
x = = 1
</syntaxhighlight>
<br>
<syntaxhighlight lang="papyrus">
; Whitespace between the 10 and 12 is interpreted as two numbers, 10 and 12, and not a single number 1012, and fail to compile
10 12
</syntaxhighlight>
