By replying, we'll get about a half-dozen hits from people who will explain
it better ;-)
The following is mostly true:
Inside of filter runs, use single <>,[],{}. The qualification is that the
entire filter run has a real or implied set of square brackets:
filter="Josiah David Mark" -- each name has an implied double bracket.
So the same as
filter="[[Josiah]] [[David]] [[Mark]]"
But if I Josiah, David, and Mark (a popular 1960s folk music group, I
think) were names of variables, then the filter could look like:
filter="[<Josiah>] [<David>] [<Mark>]"
But, outside of a filter run AND outside of a macro, macros/variables need
double <<>> :
<<Josiah>> <<David>> & <<Mark>> lived by the sea ...
Inside of a macro, you can refer to macros with double brackets:
\define dragonpuff()
<<Josiah>> <<David>> & <<Mark>> lived by the sea ...
or with variable placeholder notation :
\define dragonpuff()
$(Josiah)$ $(David)$ & $(Mark)$ in the land of Sara-lee ...
Just to make things interesting, there is a new notation using double angle
brackets for arguments inside of macros:
\define dragonlyric(item1 item2)
And brought him <<__item1__>> and <<__item2__>> with a might puff!
You'll need to clarify what confuses you about quotes. Obviously I'm
confused about who I'm quoting quite often ...
