title: Syntax for ng-repeat angular directive and pipe character
body: <p>I am studying the angularJS home page samples and I came across the following usage of the angularJS ng-repeat directive:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;tr ng-repeat="project in projects | filter:search | orderBy:'name'"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Is the pipe character an angularJS keyword or a plain JS keyword?</strong> Also, what is the desired effect of this keyword?</p>
