15.1 About the overviews

The method descriptions are grouped into chapters and sections. Each such group of methods descriptions begins, optionally, with an overview. These overviews, again optionally, end with a “cheat sheet”. The “cheat sheets” name the most important Libmarpa methods in that chapter or section, in the order in which they are typically used, and very briefly describe their purpose.

The overviews sometimes speak of an “archetypal” application. The archetypal Libmarpa application implements a complete logic flow, starting with the creation of a grammar, and proceeding all the way to the return of the final result from a value object. In the archetypal Libmarpa application, the grammar, input and semantics are all small but non-trivial.
