Examples

A configuration file may have the following declaration of terms:

  !block terms; data
  Term     Definition
  SDF      Simple Document Format
  SQL      Structured Query Language
  !endblock

These can then be inserted into a document as follows:

  !block terms
  Term     Definition
  SDF
  SQL
  WWW      World Wide Web
  !endblock

Note that the definition for a term already declared will be inserted if none is provided. Furthermore, new terms (like WWW above) can be inserted and added to the configured ones.
