        <para>
            Semicolons are used to separate rows in a matrix definition (within brackets).

        <para>
            Semicolons may also be used at the end of an instruction (in a file or in Scilab console). In this
            case it means that the result(s) is(are) not displayed. Conversely use
            comma (,) to get the display.
