Confirm Applicability Syntax
An applicability syntax is a defined structure of attributes and values that represent applicability settings (e.g. options and choices). To be able to add inline applicability settings to content in a document in Arbortext Editor, you must confirm the syntax with which the applicability options you want to use are defined.
Validation of inline applicability expressions is carried out against the current syntax.
Arbortext Editor ships with two applicability syntaxes:
APEX
ATO
The default syntax is ATO.
To specify the syntax to be used in your environment, use the inlineapplicabilitysyntax set option as a command or as an advanced preference.
For example, set inlineapplicabilitysyntax=ATO.
For more information, see set inlineapplicabilitysyntax in the Arbortext Command Language Reference PDF.
To register a custom syntax, use the registerApplicabilitySyntax() function.
For more information, see registerApplicabilitySyntax() in the Arbortext Command Language Reference PDF.

Once registered, a custom syntax must be assigned to the current environment using inlineapplicabilitysyntax before it can be referenced.
To find out which syntax is currently active for your environment, invoke the function eval option(inlineapplicabilitysyntax).
