Remarks

The integers to the left of the equal signs represent ordinal positions within the sequence of questions. questions can be directly assigned to a position in the sequence using the equals sign. A page can be simultaneously assigned to multiple positions by separating the position numbers with commas (equivalent to "and") or dashes (equivalent to "through"). All page numbers in the survey page must be assigned to a page.
