I know. This was only an example about the informations, which will be nice to have to build some parameters of the compiler without asking the user.

The IAR compiler has a flag to use the old K&R calling conventions. If I insert in the name of the option "use K&R convention" I see only "use KR convention". If I use "use K&ampersand;R convention", I get the complete text as the name.
