strings, each preceded by the attribute name and an equals sign. Within the
quotes, the quote character, backslash, and newline are escaped with
backslashes, and commas are used to separate multiple values for the attribute.

Any commas in attribute values are doubled
(permitting treatment of the values as a comma-separated list).

Apart from the escaping, the string within quotes takes the same form as the
output when a single attribute is requested. Specifying no attributes is the
same as specifying all of an entry's attributes.

Here are some examples of the output format. The first line of each pair is an
LDAP query, and the second is the data that is returned. The attribute called
&%attr1%& has two values, one of them with an embedded comma, whereas

The &%extract%& operator in string expansions can be used to pick out
individual fields from data that consists of &'key'&=&'value'& pairs.
-.new
The &%listextract%& operator should be used to pick out individual values
