Note

If the declaration is a simba method (or a plugin) the declaration will be printed in the output.

IDE directives are similar to compiler directives. They are enclosed by curly brackets with an opening percentage sign. For example:

{% ide_directive}

The compiler sees them simply as comments which it ignores.

{%codetools on}

Insert an “anchor” into the function list to mark named sections and such.

{%anchor hello}
