RainCode - XMLBooster

Element: ALIEN

The ALIEN operator defines an enclosing couple ... around an alien formula, that is, a formula which is not defined by the meta-definition. It is just considered as a character string, and the parser generated by XMLBOOSTER will skip all characters until it synchronizes on the closing mark.
