How to read grammars
- Keywords are between
[], e.g.'state group' [ '?' ] reference. component 'some component'refers to a different component in the same language.
Typical quirks of the Alan compiler
- Keywords should be separated by whitespace, so
()doesn’t work but( )does. - Quotes are recognized as something special, so you can write
'type':and?'state group'|'state'. - Single quotes are used for entities (things you can refer to or that refer to something else), double quotes are just strings.
- Only tabs are accepted for indentation.
