Introduction
------------
Rules are defined in ini file format where the sections are file glob
patterns and the contents of each section are the preferences for files
matching that pattern(s). For example::
[name *.bat]
eol = native
[name *.html *.xml]
keywords = xml_escape
Preferences like these are useful for commands and plugins wishing to
provide custom behaviour for selected files. For more information on
end of line conversion see :doc:`eol-help`.
Keyword support is provided by the `keywords plugin
<http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/plugins/en/keywords-plugin.html>`_.
Files
-----
Default rules for all branches are defined in the optional file
``BZR_HOME/rules``.
Rule Patterns
-------------
Patterns are ordered and searching stops as soon as one matches.
As a consequence, more explicit patterns should be placed towards
the top of the file. Rule patterns use exactly the same conventions
as ignore patterns. See :doc:`patterns-help` for details.
.. note::
Patterns containing square brackets or spaces should be
surrounded in quotes to ensure they are correctly parsed.
