+Field Names
+-----------
+Field names can refer to either [Document Merge Fields](#document-merge-fields) or [User Variables](#user-variables).  If a document merge field and a user variable share the same name, the document merge field takes precidence.  Its syntax is simply:
+
+```ebnf
+field-name = merge-field-name | user-variable-name ;
+```
+
+### Document Merge Fields
+Document merge fields are the primary source of substitution fields.  A document merge field represents a field from an external data source, such as a CSV file.  The valid syntax for a document merge field name is determined by the merge source, with the following exception.  Merge field names cannot contain either a colon (":") or closing curly bracket ("}").
+
+### User Variables
+Substitution fields can also refer to user variables.  The syntax for valid user variable names is
+
+```ebnf
+letter = "a" | "b" | ... | "z" | "A" | ... | "Z";
+digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | ... | "9";
+user-variable-name = ( letter | "_" ) , { letter | digit | "_" } ;
+```

+Create a "built-in" merge source
+--------------------------------
+As an alternative to external merge sources, let the user edit the merge source
+in situ.  The user can add fields.  The user can add records using those fields.
+The user created database will become part of the glabels project file.
+For simple databases, such as a small address list, this would be much easier
+to deal with than creating it externally.
