Closure

A closure is a set opening and closing characters. Proper closure is considered important to many documentors and readers; in #coding especially.

Feels

Semantic closure characters can be substituted for more visually expressive characters since the typical #coding closure characters, {(< also share the same character space as the wave characters in Acktueli. Sometimes, a little bit of mood is needed to be documented within the closure. However, in #acktueli, the [ feels pretty neutral in expressive qualities, so when in doubt, use the [] closure.

With Subtext, a documenter needs to be careful using specific closures as they might have visually expressive tone assumptions. Also this might change the affect of the relationship between the action and the subtext.

☶: +☶?+, [shrugs]

Omission

Sometimes the documenter can omit some closures just for #succinity or to show a stronger relationship.
