Method Declarations

An XC method is a sequence of HTML (or XML) statements and method calls.  A method definition for a method with name METHODNAME begins on a line containing:

<method METHODNAME >  any-comments-afterwards-on-this-line

and ends on a line containing:

</method> any-comments-afterwards-on-this-line

As an example, methods foo and bar are defined below in document E.  Note that <method> and </method> must appear on their own lines and that a space must separate the end of a method name from the terminating right-widget (">") on a <method> declaration:

<method foo > beginning of foo
3  -- method foo
4  -- method foo
5  -- method foo
</method> end of foo
<method bar > beginning of bar
8  -- method bar
9  -- method bar
10 -- method bar
</method> end of bar

Method declarations can not be nested.
