Simple Marking-up
All files (i.e. Books) must commence with two required header lines. Below, for example, is the start of the file Engl. Planet_Aspects.txt:
// AP Planet Aspects
// Aspects of Natal Planets [02.000.03]
69 | P a g e comes to questions of feelings, you take an active interest in
psychology,
different cultures, and history. You can find support from all sides when
it comes to any sort of mental activity -- writing, speaking, and all forms of communication.
[02.180.03]
It may be hard to find support for your ideas, and arguments may arise with those who oppose or challenge your way of thinking. You could find yourself thinking and presenting ideas that are out of place or don't go
along with the current mood. Since you don't always pay attention to your
own moods and feelings, some of your ideas may not even feel right to you.
You could say things that upset or challenge those around you. You may be
great at argument. ...
[02.120.10]
You have natural psychological ability, in particular when working with the public. You can handle emotional and personal issues (vulnerable areas)
where angels fear to tread. People sense this about you and trust you with
sensitive matters, inner worries, and questions of personal identity. You have a real mission and a sense of purpose.
In the header the first two lines are obligatory. Notice that these lines begin with the two characters //. A code in the first line defines the type of text, i.e. the Theme. The second line specifies the text that will be used as the citation of this book. Other lines beginning with // are considered as textual annotations (comments), and are skipped over when the text is used.
The thematic header category codes, their names, and their sectoring schema are as follows (these reside in the file [ZET]\LANGUAGE\English\LibrType.txt, which should be consulted for the full list):

Texts consist of a heading (see above), and a set of clauses which are parsed by ZET when it compiles the interpretation, selecting for inclusion those which accord with certain conditions.
Each clause starts with a sub-heading code, which contains sectoring information identifiable by ZET, and is followed directly by the text of the clause.
Consider the example shown above. Here the code of the main heading 'AP' signifies the theme 'Aspects of planets'. The associated sectoring schema, which describes the format of the sub-heading code required to identify the text clauses contained in the Book, is given as [P.A.P], where 'P' encodes a planet, and 'A' encodes an aspect or a numeric circle divisor (in degrees).
P
The code for a planet can be a numeric descriptor; a 2-letter identifier; or for Arabic Parts, a 3-letter code: 1 SU Sun 2 MO Moon 3 ME Mercury 4 VE Venus 5 MA Mars 6 JU Jupiter 7 SA Saturn 8 UR Uranus 9 NE Neptune 10 PL Pluto 11 North Node 12 South Node
13 Black Moon (Lilith) 14 White Moon (Selena) 15 Proserpine

A
Aspects are encoded either as a numeric descriptor; or a 3-letter identifier; or a number signifying the aspect's angular distance. If the latter option is used, the number must be composed of three digits (integer degrees). For example, an aspect with an angle of 22.5 degrees should be encoded as 023, and an aspect of 11.25 degrees as 011. The following are the currently recognized descriptors, identifiers, and aspect angles: 1 CNJ Conjunction 0 2 SSX Semisextile 30 3 Semiquintile 36 4 Novile 40 5 SSQ Semisquare 45 6 SXT Sextile 60 7 Quintile 72 8 SQR Square 90 9 Sesquiquintile 108 10 TRI Trine 120 11 SQQ Sesquiquadrate 135 12 Biquintile 144 13 Quincunx 150 14 OPP Opposition 180 P Parallel P^ Contraparallel
S
Signs of the zodiac are encoded as a numeric descriptor; or 2-letter identifier, as follows: 1 AR Aries 2 TA Taurus 3 GE Gemini 4 CA Cancer 5 LE Leo 6 VI Virgo 7 LI Libra 8 SC Scorpio 9 SA Sagittarius 10 CP Capricorn 11 AQ Aquarius 12 PI Pisces
H
House numbers are encoded by their usual (arabic) numerals (1... 12).
C
House cusps are encoded by taking the house number codes and adding 100 to the values (i.e. yielding 101, 102... 112).
