xAsm Syntax

The syntax line‐based, just as in any other assembler. Meaning that you do one instruction or pseudo‐op per line:

[label] [instruction] [;comment]

Example:

John:          ld   a,87 ;Weee

A comment can also be an asterisk (*) followed by the comment if the asterisk is the first character on the line:

********************************
* These are full line comments *
********************************

All pseudo‐ops, mnemonics and registers (reserved keywords) are case‐insensitive and all labels are case‐sensitive.
