A string property list is a delimited string containing multiple key-value pairs in the format "var1=value1; var2=value2;..."

For example:

[h: stringPropertyList="var1=foo; var2=bar; var3=baz;"]

String property lists are zero-based (i.e., the first item in a string property list is item 0). When a key-value pair is extracted from a string property list using one of the available string property functions, the value of the pair is considered a string, and must be converted to or evaluated to a number to perform numeric computations.

The default delimiter in a string property list is the semicolon (";"), however, the string property functions permit the use of alternate delimiters.

String property lists may be stored in token properties.
