3.1.5 How to use the language help topics

The language help topics are setup in such a way that they provide support on how to use the Dezyne Modelling Language (DML) constructs.

For each topic there is a general intent, followed by the syntax and examples.

The topics can be read in any order, however, there is a certain sequence that can guide you in setting up your first DML models:

First it is outlined how an interface and events should be constructed, next how a component is constructed and how to specify that a component provides or requires an interface. Then you can find how to define variables and how to specify interface and component behaviour with all the possible constructs (functions, conditionals, etc). Finally it is shown how you can decompose components into others / group components into systems.
