Hi,<br>
<br>
Reference<br>
<a href="https://en.m.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=User:PeterEasthope/sandbox&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile#" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikibooks.org/w/<wbr>index.php?title=User:<wbr>PeterEasthope/sandbox&<wbr>mobileaction=toggle_view_<wbr>mobile#</a><br>
<br>
MarkupOberon() is invoked exactly once in the module.<br>
<br>
Two questions.<br>
<br>
(1) If language syntax doesn't require parentheses after a procedure <br>
name when there are no parameters, which is better: include empty <br>
parentheses or omit? (Many relevant instances in the cited module.)<br>
<br>
(2) Since MarkupOberon is invoked only once, which is better: keep as <br>
is or incorporate in-line where invoked? (If MarkupOberon is included <br>
in-line, MarkupT will become much bigger with deeper indentations.)<br>
<br>
Thanks, ... Lyall E.<br>
