LHS, RHS and enumeration are like klingon to me. :O)

Are these terms important to understand the code ?

While reading code you can simply ignore them. You can also ignore them while writing code (at least initially). The advantage of these \v! \c! thingies is that it makes it easier to catch typos and write a multi-lingual interface. Aditya

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the meaning and use of the c! and v! prefixes in commands in, for example, the layo-xx.tex source files at http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals/context/ aka...

c is a constant (LHS), v is a variable (RHS enumeration).

Best wishes, Taco
