Rendering instances of user-defined macros

  Our system of rendering rules will be described in detail in c:rules_and_styles. Such rules are written in AFL, our language for audio formatting, described in c:afl. Here, we show a small example of such a rendering rule for a user-defined macro. In the following, we use CLOS generic function read-aloud, described in c:rules_and_styles. For the present, let us assume that function read-aloud executes the necessary actions to render its argument. After executing the appropriate call to define-text-object for the La)TeX macro \inference, which is defined as

[LVerbatim743]

to render instances of calls to \inference, we can define

If we wished to produce a rendering that inverts the order in which the arguments to macro \inference are rendered, we would define:

A flexible method for switching among different rendering rules to obtain different ``audio views'' of the same object is described in s:rules_and_styles.
