 Tokens within `{}` define route parameters that are bound if the route is matched. More than one route parameter can be defined in a route segment, but route parameters  must be separated by a literal value. For example, `{controller=Home}{action=Index}` isn't a valid route, since there's no literal value between `{controller}` and `{action}`.  Route parameters must have a name and may have additional attributes specified.
 
-Literal text other than route parameters (for example, `{id}`) and the path separator `/` must match the text in the URL. Text matching is case-insensitive and based on the decoded representation of the URLs path. To match a literal route parameter delimiter `{` or `}`, escape the delimiter by repeating the character. For example `{{` or `}}`.
