Rule form Some functions are available in ''rule form''. These rule form functions are functions that create a new [[type:function]]. That new function, the rule, applies some transformation to the input and returns the result. A rule is like a normal function with all parameters given, except for the @input@. Rules are often combined using the + operator, for example: > # First all "a"s are replaced, then all "b"s. > remove_as_and_bs := replace_rule(match: "a", replace: "") + > replace_rule(match: "b", replace: "") > > text_with_as_and_bs := "bla bla bla" > text_without_as_and_bs := remove_as_and_bs(text_with_as_and_bs)
