declare_notation [notationname [sysid [pubid]]]

This alias creates a notation declaration, prompting for input as necessary.

sysid is the system identifier, or path name, for the notation. If this string includes spaces or special characters (characters other than letters, digits, and underscores), the whole string needs to be enclosed in quotation marks.

pubid is the public identifier for the notation. To be used by Arbortext Editor, the identifier must be mapped in one of the catalog files in the directories identified by the set catalogpath option (typically the doctypes subdirectory of Arbortext-path). When entered from a command file or the command line, the public identifier must be enclosed in quotation marks.

dn is a synonym for declare_notation.
