Diagram Conventions

Use the following diagram to see the conventions used in the syntax diagrams.
Statement elements are connected by lines. Each line can be followed in only one
direction, as indicated by the arrow at the end of the line. Any combination of
statement elements that can be generated by starting at the root element and
following the line the proper direction is syntactically correct. An element is
optional if there is a path around it. The drawings show the proper use of spaces.
Where spaces are required they are indicated by a hexagon with the word “spa ce ”
in it, otherwise no spaces are allowed between statement elements.
