What's new in the language of OmniMark 10.0.0

The types sgml-dtd and xml-dtd have been introduced, both subtypes of the type dtd. The introduction of these types allows compiled DTDs to be manipulated as first-class objects.

The built-in #current-dtd has been introduced, providing access to the DTD being used for the currently-active parse.

#doctype is now writable: its value can be modified to affect the document type of the currently-active parse.

The types element-declaration, attribute-declaration, and entity-declaration have been introduced. The introduction of these types allows the elements, attributes, and entities declared in a compiled DTD to be manipulated as first-class objects.

The operator declared-elements of has been introduced; it can be used to obtain the elements declared in a compiled DTD.

The operator attributes of has been extended to apply to instances of element-declaration; it can be used to obtain the attributes declared in an element declaration.

The operators declared-general-entities of and declared-parameter-entities of have been introduced; they can be used to obtain the entities declared in a compiled DTD.

The operator content of has been extended to apply to instances of element-declaration; it can be used to obtain a representation of the content model in the element declaration.

The operator name of has been extended to apply to instances of element-declaration; it can be used to obtain the name of the element declared in the element declaration.

The built-in functions create-element-declaration and create-attribute-declaration have been introduced, to allow element and attribute declarations to be created programmatically.

The built-in function create-element-event has been introduced, to allow element events to be created programmatically.

The types declared-attribute and specified-attribute have been introduced to represent the types of the attributes and specified attributes shelves, respectively. specified-attribute is a subtype of declared-attribute.

The attributes shelf can now be passed to functions as a read-only argument of type declared-attribute. The specified attributes shelf can now be passed to functions as a read-only argument of type declared-attribute or specified-attribute.

Functions can now return shelf references, in addition to single values.

Pattern variables can now be passed through as optional function arguments, whether or not they are specified.
