 ====== ParserMonster Constants ======
+[[cleanup!]]
+ParserMonster constants are names of several types of data:
+  - Unchanging values, such as the current version
+  - Special values that may change, such as the date
+  - Flags that may be set to either true or false
-ParserMonster constants are simply variables that can be true or false. Tasks and scripts can use a mix of predefined flags and temporary, local flags.
+ParserMonster detects constants within [[taskfiles|task files]] and [[constantfiles|constant files]].
 You can add your own constants to the application. Create a text file and add the constants, one per line:
-[code]
+<code>
 $MyFirstConstant=MyName@MyEmail.com
 $ModifiedLongTime=
-[/code]
+</code>
-Save the file with any name you wish, as long as it begins with **cx-** and ends with the **.txt** extension
+Save the file with any name you wish, as long as it begins with **cx-** and ends with the **.txt** extension. Make sure it is in the same folder as the application. [[devnote_datafolders]]
 The next time you launch your application, the constants will be available.
