Design #168
Updated by Anna Maria Bigatti almost 5 years ago
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, ...)
<pre>
<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>
</pre>
