spoon-business: Elimination of Boilerplate |
<proposal title="Elimination of Boilerplate"> Create a rule entitled "Elimination of Boilerplate" containing the following text delimited by tags: <rule> To "propose a rule" is defined to mean making a proposal which contains one Action, which is to create a Rule. The Proposal is given the same title as the Rule. The Proposal and the Rule need not be introduced separately. To "propose [multiple] rules" is defined to mean making a proposal which contains a number of actions, each of which creates a Rule. When proposing multiple rules, it is only necessary that the beginning of each rule be marked in some obvious way (such as "This is a new rule whose title is 'Title Goes Here':" ) If the Proposal is not given a title, it gets the title of the first Rule it proposes. In each case, either the end of the last rule or the end of the proposal as a whole should be marked. If the end is not marked, the last rule proposed continues until the end of the Forum message. </rule> [[ So, to make a proposal that proposes the creation of one rule named "Foo Bar", you need only to introduce it with "I propose the following rule entitled 'Foo Bar':" ]] </proposal> -- Rob Speer
