Guides

Format: |
In words: “Put a guide here”

The guide command tells GuideGuide to place a guide at the current location.

|

GuideGuide ignores consecutive guide commands to avoid duplicating guides. It’s safe to write grid notation in ways that generate duplicate guides if they are more readable because GuideGuide will ignore them.
