The railroad widget uses a special notation to construct the components defined below.
|
|
|
|
`x` and `y` here stand for any component.
|
|
|
|
Names (as opposed to quoted strings) are available when a value starts with a letter and contains only letters, digits, underscores, dots and hyphens.
|

; sequence
|
|
: <$railroad text=""" ["<-"] {x} ["->"] """/>
|
|
|
|
* A sequence of components
|
|
* The `<-` and `->` delimiters allow you to force a single component to be treated as a sequence. This is occasionally useful for spacing a diagram out
