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
