| Referents: format of displayed referents | |||||
| Prerequisite Concepts | Related Syntax | ||||
Referents written to any stream to which referents-displayed currently applies, are formatted in a special way. They are output in the form of an SGML processing instruction. For example, a referent named "chap 1 title" with the value "Overview" will be displayed as:
<?REF "chap 1 title"="Overview">
The information provided in the displayed form depends on whether the referent is defined or not, or in the process of being defined, and whether it is currently attached to a stream. The referent name is always displayed in (double) quotation marks, as above.
This special processing of referents for these streams is intended to improve their utility in debugging OmniMark programs. The programmer can apply this processing to other streams using the referents-displayed stream modifier.
