When no format specification is given and there is no colon specified, XBUILD automatically uses the format of the numeric reserved word within the square brackets. For example, [<X-COORD>+1] is printed in the default format for the <X-COORD> reserved word as configured in the Words Info dialog. If there are no reserved words, such as in the expression [1+2], the default format for the <Z-COORD> reserved word is used.
