All Elements: Properties with no value in NCL

[ghost]

• When the value is "default" in sNCL, the propertie is written is NCL with no value (I prefer this one)

media media1
   left: "default"
end

• Parse properties with no value in sNCL

media media1
   left
end

Wouldn't an empty string be enough for what you want to do?

For consistency and to avoid unnecessary complications in the parser my suggestion is to keep the "propname: value" syntax even for properties with no values. Thus, if we really need a string with no value, we will probably need a keyword for it (such as novalue, nil or empty). Just some experiments:

media media1
   left: ""
  # or
  left: nil
  # or
  left: empty
  #
  left: novalue
end

But, do we really need it? Is there an interesting use case for adding such a support?
