What is tha syntax of the syntax/<any_language>.def files?

[Reinhard Hahn]

I want to write my own language definition for Magik.

I already found the general description for creating language definition files in the fisheye documentation (defining-your-own-syntax-highlighting-in-crucible-or-fisheye)

Although many elements of the syntax of these defintion files I could guess, I'm missing a general description of the syntax of these language definition files.

Thanks

Reinhard
