SALT Syntax

Defining claims

Syntax: \claim { text }

Description:
This command creates a claim. Internally each claim will receive an unique identifier. Once the claim is published, this identifier will be transformed into a general and referenceable identifier.

NOTE: All annotated claims should be strictly regarded from the publication's point of view, i.e. what is that you as an author claim in your publication, and not what other authors claimed in different publications and you discuss.

Example:

\claim {The structure of a document has an important influence on its perception.}

Defining rhetorical blocks

Syntax:

\begin { RHETBLOCK_NAME }
...
\end { RHETBLOCK_NAME }

Details:

• ENV_NAME - the name of the rhetorical block. This can be one of the following: background, motivation, scenario, contribution, evaluation, discussion and conclusion.

Description:
This command helps us create a particular rhetorical block. The definition of a rhetorical block can be used for several times. The final rhetorical block created will be the concatenation of all the definitions of that rhetorical block.

Example:

\begin {scenario}
...
\end {scenario}
