Sometimes, authors of LDraw-related software add special custom syntax elements to the LDraw file format.

This can create various problems when

  • the semantics of such syntax changes between software versions
  • different software interprets them differently
  • files get widespread which make use of that custom syntax, without it being a standard.

For that reason, doing so in general is a Bad Idea (TM).

However, this in the past has happend quite in some instances.

This page tries to list all the existing custom syntax elements.
