Using the Grammar Info Dialog

To edit the grammar info of a file, open the grammar info dialog by clicking the button in the Toolbar. The name may be different from the file name. When you create a new Grammar, you can enter the name of the start structure. Later, you can just select there an existing structure from the grammar. The start structure surrounds the whole file, normally, and contains or references other structures. The description is just for you, it's not used anywhere else.

The UTI is used to connect it to documents of that type. You can enter the UTI directly or one of the other representations - MIME Type, file extension or OSType. For some formats there may be no UTI registered in the system. There alternatively the file extension is used. At the moment, only the UTI and the file extension are stored to the grammar file - that's the information available when you open a file.

The email address you enter is stored in the grammar file and helps people to contact you in case of questions proposals. The Contact author toolbar item toolbar item is enabled if the grammar you opened has an email set and if it's not one of your email addresses.

When you consider a grammar complete, you can set the Grammar is complete checkbox. This prevents the grammar from displaying when you open a file and this grammar is suggested.
