Description

The manual entries in CoCoAHelp.xml include a collection of the types involved.
What convention should be used for the names of these types?
For instance the fn abs lists as its types integer, rat and ringlem.

Decide a convention, and apply it (as uniformly as possible).

  • 2019-10 ** here it is (this allows generating manual page with all functions returning INT, RAT, ...)
    <syntax>
    abs(N: <type>INT</type>): <rtn>INT</rtn>
    abs(N: <type>RAT</type>): <rtn>RAT</rtn>
    abs(N: <type>RINGELEM</type>): <rtn>RINGELEM</rtn>
    </syntax>
