Hello,

Is it possible to give the user of my language the possibility, that he can define variables inside the document and reference to them later on?

For example:
Config.mylanguage

Myconfig config{
	globalParameter{
		date = "2020-10-30"
	}
	action1{
		name "action1"
                starting_date = $date
      }
      action2{
		name "action2"
                starting_date = $date
      }
}

Best regards
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

Yes, it is possible. Similar concept has been implemented in the Eclipse MWE2 project, see the usage of the DeclaredProperty in the Mwe2.xtext file.

Hope that helps,
Tamás

Unfortunatly I don't know how to adapt this to my example. Are there any examples or keywords in the documentation where you can point me at? I don't know under which keyword I can find any information or examples regarding this topic.
