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.
