| OmniMark syntax | |||||
| ------ |
OmniMark is a free-format, English-like programming language. Keywords are used to introduce OmniMark rules, declarations, actions, conditions, function definitions, and macro definitions.
Rules, declarations, and function definitions are all terminated when a keyword introducing a new rule, declaration, function definition, or macro definition is encountered. Actions and conditions are terminated by the start of another action, rule, declaration, function definition, or macro definition.
Only macro definitions have explicit terminators. This is because a macro defines a very general text substitution. The text to be substituted can contain anything, including whole rules, declarations, or even definitions of other macros. Because anything is permitted inside a macro, macros must be explicitly terminated with the macro-end keyword.
See the following programming concepts for more details:
At the lowest level, OmniMark programs are ultimately composed of keywords, names, quoted strings, numbers, punctuation characters, white space, and comments.
