Changeset 4599 for trunk/manuals/userman

Timestamp:

11/21/08 12:47:26 (7 weeks ago)

Author:

pmoura

Message:

Added an expand_goal/2 built-in method to support explicit calls to the goal_expansion/2 user-defined hook. Updated the term expansion mechanism to allow the expansion to be a single term instead of a list of terms. Improved the documentation of the term and goal expansion predicates.

Added syntax coloring support for the new expand_goal/2 method to the supported text editors and syntax highlighters.
