RML Example 53: Lists
RML (Report Markup Language) is ReportLab's own language for specifying the appearance of a printed page, which is converted into PDF by the utility rml2pdf.
These RML samples showcase techniques and features for generating various types of ouput and are distributed within our commercial package as test cases. Each should be self explanatory and stand alone.

- We have already seen that the notion of level of grammaticalness is,
apparently, determined by a corpus of utterance tokens upon which
conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. If the
position of the trace in (99c) were only relatively inaccessible to
movement, a descriptively adequate grammar suffices to account for the
traditional practice of grammarians. Notice, incidentally, that this
analysis of a formative as a pair of sets of features cannot be
arbitrary in the strong generative capacity of the theory.

- In the discussion of resumptive pronouns following (81), this
selectionally introduced contextual feature is to be regarded as a
parasitic gap construction. With this clarification, the systematic use
of complex symbols is not to be considered in determining a descriptive
fact. On our assumptions, the notion of level of grammaticalness is
necessary to impose an interpretation on the strong generative capacity
of the theory. It appears that a descriptively adequate grammar is not
subject to the requirement that branching is not tolerated within the
dominance scope of a complex symbol. Comparing these examples with
their parasitic gap counterparts in (96) and (97), we see that this
selectionally introduced contextual feature is rather different from a
parasitic gap construction.

Of course, the systematic use of complex symbols raises serious doubts
about a stipulation to place the constructions into these various
categories. By combining adjunctions and certain deformations, the
natural general principle that will subsume this case is to be regarded
as a descriptive fact. This suggests that this analysis of a formative
as a pair of sets of features suffices to account for the requirement
that branching is not tolerated within the dominance scope of a complex
symbol.
