Name Type

A name is a sequence of characters starting with a letter or underscore (“_”) and followed by any number of letters, digits, or underscores (“_”).

Names are automatically trimmed, and spaces are automatically replaced by underscores (“_”).

Graphical representation of the name editor

The name editor presents a text field where the name's characters can be typed directly.

Names are sequences of valid characters enclosed by double quotes ('“'):

"Amazon"
"North"
"landscape123"
"landscape_123"
"x1_and_a_name"

A name can be any length.
