when connected. However, they restrict the set of possible types which can be bound. For example, if some pin expects the type to be a kind of collection, the datatype can be defined as \"#1(Collection)\". Similar to a regular template type, this initially unbound type will be bound whenever a pin gets connected. Also, other \"#1(Collection)\" types at the same step are unified with this type.</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><br /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>However, when connecting, binding is only allowed to types which are compatible with a Collection type.</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><br /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>=== Formal (BNF) Syntax of Type Declarations ====</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><br /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>Please refer to the [[ DatatypeDescriptionEditor#Formal_Description_of_the_Expecco_Type_Syntax | datatype editor documentation ]].</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><br /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>&nbsp;</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>&nbsp;</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><br /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>----</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>For other tree elements see: [[Tree Elements]]</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><br /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>For editors see: [[Editors]]</div></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><br /></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n <td colspan=\"2\" class=\"diff-empty diff-side-deleted\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td>\n <td class=\"diff-addedline diff-side-added\"><div>The full online documentation can be found under: [[Online Documentation]]</div></td>\n</tr>\n"
