Fiddling With Advanced BLUEPHRASE

Styling rules can be added to BLUEPHRASE documents using shorthand notation, inline style tags, or externally linked stylesheets.

Defining styling rules: Using a style block to define decoration rules.
Linking to external stylesheets: Using an external file as a CSS stylesheet.
Including external stylesheets: Embedding the contents of an external file into a style block.

Scripts can be embedded using inline script tags or external sourcerefs.

Embedding scripts: Using a script block to add JavaScript functions to a document.
Linking to external scripts: Using an external file that contains JavaScript functions.
Including external scripts: Embedding the contents of an external file into a script block.

A document can be assembled from two or more BLUEPHRASE source files by using an !include pragma.

Including other manuscripts: Using the !include pragma to embed other BLUEPHRASE text.
Including other documents: Using the !include pragma to embed an HTML document.
Including other text: Using the !include pragma to embed plain text.

Enclosures provide a way to wrap the contents of a document with the outer contents of an external file.

Defining a classic template: Creating a BLUEPHRASE template with a !target-matter enclosure point.
Using an enclosure: Using the !enclosure pragma to wrap the classic template around a manuscript.

BLUEPHRASE also uses the dollar sign for inner clones and outer clones.

Inner clones: Using inner clones to copy the inner phrases only.
Outer clones: Using outer clones to copy a phrase and its complete phrase hierarchy.

The use pragma allows externally defined variables to be used within a BLUEPHRASE manuscript.

Unplaced phrases and variables: Defining phrases and variables for use elsewhere.
Declaring phrases just for clones: Using a !use pragma to include a hidden phrase hierarchy for later cloning.
Using an invisible manuscript: Using the !use pragma to inject variables and clone templates into the BLUEPROCESSOR.

Junctors allow hyperlinks to be defined in a bidirectional manner.

Infix junctors: Creating complementary links from A->B and B->A.
Prefix junctors: Placing the B->A hyperlink before the target phrase.
Postfix junctors: Placing the B->A hyperlink after the target phrase.
Half-duplex junctors: Using junctor syntax to conveniently link B->A in one direction only.
Multiplex junctors: Using junctor syntax to link multiple sources to a single destination B->A, C->A, D->A, etc.
