+= Core Types in Olivine =
+== text ==
+Text is just that, text.  You string a line of characters together and wrap them in a pair of double-quotes.  In fact, in most languages this type is called ''string''.  Here is an example of ''text'':
+
+{{{
+"Hello World!"
+}}}
+
+== whole number ==
+Whole numbers are numbers without fractions.  They can be positive or negative but cannot have a decimal point.
+
+== list ==
+A list is a type that contains multiple instances of some other type.  All the items in the list must be the same type.  Here is a list of text for example:
+
+{{{
+[
+   "First item"
+   "Second item"
+   "Third item"
+]
+}}}
+
+Lists can also be expressed on a single line using a comma separator, for example:
+{{{
+[ "First item", "Second item", "Third item" ]
+}}}
