Output statement
Purpose: Output text.

 @<text>

 !<verbatim text>

Outputting free form text is done by starting the line with "@" or "!". The text is output unencoded with a new line appended.

With "@" statement, any inline-code executes and any output from those statements is output.

With "!" statement, all text is output verbatim, and any inline code is not executed. This is useful when the text printed out should not be checked for any inline-code.

All trailing whitespaces are trimmed from each source code line. If you need to write trailing whitespaces, with "@" statement you can use p-out as inline-code. Maximum line length is 8KB - this is the source code line length, the actual run-time output length is unlimited.

Note that all characters are output as they are written, including the escape character (\). If you wish to output characters requiring an escape character, such as new line and tab (as is done in C by using \n, \t etc.), use p-out as inline-code.
Examples
Outputting "Hello there": 
 @Hello there

You can use other Gliimly statements inlined and mixed with the text you are outputting:
 set-string weatherType="sunny"
 @Today's weather is <<p-out weatherType>>

which would output 
Today's weather is sunny

With "!" statement, the text is also output, and this example produces the same "Hello there" output as "@":
 !Hello there

In contrast to "@" statement, "!" statement outputs all texts verbatim  and does not execute any inline code:
 set-string weatherType="sunny"
 !Today's weather is <<p-out weatherType>>

which would output 
Today's weather is <<p-out weatherType>>
