	|	#heading Level
Level	:=	[1-9](-[1-9])?

Description

The #heading directive considers a MS Word chapter or section as an OwS object definition. The #heading directive takes 3 arguments:

argument	description
Level	The heading levels that trigger the directive. E.g. if "2-4" is provided for this argument, the directive only applies to MS Word headlines which are formatted by style sheets that are registered as level-2, level-3 and level-4 headings.
TypeName	The type of the object that shall be created and defined by the headline text and the section/chapter assigned to that headline. As well OwS buildin types as custom types may be devined through the #heading directive.
Mask	Pattern that defines how properties of the newly defined object are provided within the headline text.

Defining the Headline Text Pattern

The Mask argument is a sequence of OwS property names and non-interpreted text. Property names shall start with a dot (.) and denote a property that is defined for the object that is to be created. Property names and non-interpreted text shall alternate within the mask. Non-interpreted text shall not include dots (because otherwise the OwS Tokenizer would consider the word following the dot as a property name). The table below gives some examples for valid mask definitions:

mask	typename	example headline text	equivalent to
.Name	codesystem	Ingredients and Tools	define codesystem (Ingredients and Tools) { ... }
.Name and Tools	codesystem	Ingredients and Tools	define codesystem (Ingredients) { ... }
Ingredients and .Name	codesystem	Ingredients and Tools	define codesystem (Tools) { ... }
.Name ( .Display )	concept	sugar white (White Sugar)	define concept (sugar white) { set .Display = (White Sugar) ... }
.Name : .Code ( .Designation[Language=de] )	concept	sugar white:37 (Zucker)	define concept (sugar white) { set .Code = (37) set .Designation[Language=de] = (Zucker) ... }

The following restrictions apply:

• when defining a codesystem, property, predicate or type, the Name-property shall be provided as part of the headline text
• when defining a concept, either the Name- or the Code-property shall be provided as part of the headline text. If only a Code is provided, the code of the concept is also used as the name of the concept.
