Ah, OK. Thanks a lot. So it's a hinting towards the orientation algorithm to
align the patches with for reading with the template.
Still, one question remains:
Is it possible to leave meta data, even in the form of comments, inside a .cht
file? Or for the same reasons in the other file formats as used by ArgyllCMS.
This way it would be possible to e. g. leave version information inside the
file, that could be used by a (human) user to be more descriptive. Then one
would not have to refer to "the file xyz.foo with size 13421 bytes from ABC",
but it could be identified or described internally. I recall you just
referred to an ICC profile recently in a similar way ... Especially when
developing something (as in this case a .cht file), it is often a good idea
to leave e. g. a software version management identification string inside to
disambiguate versions without the need of another software tool for
comparison.
