{{fbdoc item="title" value="Preprocessor"}}----
Commands that control the preprocessor.

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	Preprocessor commands are sent to the compiler to control what gets compiled and how. They can be used to choose to compile one block of code rather than another for cross-platform compatibility, include headers or other source files, define small inline functions called macros, or alter how the compiler handles variables.

**{{anchor name="CONDCOMP|Conditional Compilation"}}**
	Commands that allow for branches in compilation based on conditions.
**{{anchor name="TEXTREPLACE|Text Replacement"}}**
	Commands that create text-replacement macros.
**{{anchor name="FILE|File Directives"}}**
	Commands that indicate to the compiler how other files relate to the source file.
**{{anchor name="CONTROL|Control Directives"}}**
	Commands that set compile options, control compilation, and report compile time information.
**{{anchor name="METACOMMAND|Metacommands"}}**
	Commands that are kept for backward compatibility.
