The MEANING statement
MEANING can be used with CONCEPT-statements, RELATION-statements, and RULE-statements, to define the meaning of your concepts, relations, and rules.
A meaning is optional and is characterized by the reserved word MEANING
. It specifies the meaning of a concept, a relation, or a rule in natural language. The meaning is used to generate documentation and is printed in the functional specification. A <meaning>
can be any text, starting with {+
and ending with +}
e.g.
The optional <language>
is specified as
IN ENGLISH
orIN DUTCH
.
Example :
This is a way to override the default language (which is English).
Sometimes you need formatting in the meaning, such as dotted lists, italics, or mathematical symbols. For this purpose you have a choice in which syntax you specify the meaning. The optional <markup>
is one of :
REST
(Restructured text. This is the default)HTML
LATEX
MARKDOWN
Example :
Ampersand uses Pandoc to offer a choice for your markup. See pandoc.org for details.
