A syntax definition can have metadata, such as author name or version to manage it.
To check or modify the information of a syntax definition, select Syntax Info from the list on the left of the syntax editor. See Define a syntax for how to open the syntax editor.
The metadata of a syntax definition can be set as follows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Version | The version of the syntax. We recommend using the semantic versioning. |
| Last modified | The last modified date of the syntax. We recommend using the format YYYY-MM-DD. |
| Distribution URL | The URL of a web page in which the syntax is distributed. |
| Author | The author of the syntax. |
| License | The license of the syntax. |
| Description | The additional information on the syntax. |
This information might be useful if you want to share your own syntax. You can leave fields also empty.
