A syntax definition can include metadata such as the author, version, and distribution URL.
To review or edit a syntax definition’s metadata, select Information from the list on the left side of the syntax editor. See Define a syntax for how to open the syntax editor.
You can set the following metadata for a syntax definition:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Version | The version of the syntax definition. Semantic versioning is recommended. |
| Last modified | The date the syntax definition was last updated. The format |
| Distribution URL | The webpage where the syntax definition is published or distributed. |
| Author | The author of the syntax definition. |
| License | The license for the syntax definition. |
| Description | Additional notes about the syntax definition. |
This information is especially useful when sharing a custom syntax, but every field is optional.
