vhdl-mode: Syntactic Symbols

 
 5 Syntactic Symbols
 *******************
 
 The complete list of recognized syntactic symbols is described in the
 ‘vhdl-offsets-alist’ variable.  This chapter will provide some examples
 to help clarify these symbols.
 
    Most syntactic symbol names follow a general naming convention.  When
 a line begins with a ‘begin’ or ‘end’ keyword, the syntactic symbol will
 contain the suffix ‘-open’ or ‘-close’ respectively.
 
    Usually, a distinction is made between the first line that introduces
 a construct and lines that continue a construct, and the syntactic
 symbols that represent these lines will contain the suffix ‘-intro’ or
 ‘-cont’ respectively.  As a sub-classification of this scheme, a line
 which is the first of a particular block construct will contain the
 suffix ‘-block-intro’.
 
    *<TBD> include the name and a brief example of every syntactic symbol
 currently recognized*
