5.1. Interpretation of View Entry Values

See the section on sect.syntax for details on view the syntax and some basic view terminology. The view syntax associates an arbitrary string whose interpretation depends on the property it is assigned too. Currently there is a small set of standard interpretations.

integer

An integral number in decimal notation.

string

A raw string.

boolean

A boolean value either "true" or "false".

qualified identifier

A possibly qualified identifier. For example "M.t" or "t". Qualified identifiers are language independent identifiers that are translated to the appropriate output language in a uniform way. For example M.t would appear as M_t in C and C++ but remain M.t in SML, Java, and Haskell.
