Formula files and entries
Formula files are plain text files with the extensions .ufm (fractal formula files), .ucl (coloring 
algorithm files), or .uxf (transformation files). A formula file can contain any number of formulas 
(called entries).
Each entry starts with an entry identifier, followed by the contents of the entry between curly 
brackets { and }. After the entry identifier, an optional value between parentheses can be added. 
Examples:
My Formula {
; entry contents
}
Mandelbrot(XAXIS) {
; this formula uses an optional setting 
}
The entry identifier may consist of almost all characters, except spaces and tabs, of course. Since 
you can specify an additional descriptive title for the formula, the identifier can be cryptic as the user 
never notices it (but it is shown by the 
browser
). The identifier is used to distinguish between 
formulas in the same file, so no two formulas in the same file can have the same identifier.
The semicolon ; is used to add comments to a formula. After a semicolon, the rest of the line is 
ignored by the compiler. You can also add global comments like copyright information to a file by 
placing them inside a special comments { } entry, which is also ignored (but the browser shows it 
when the file is selected).
To facilitate working with entries, the built in formula editor can automatically create new entries and 
search for existing entries. See 
Formula editors
