I don’t know whether the first 'type' is the standard type definition
entry keyword but if so it should be typed in bold font.
No, it's not the keyword, it's a "reference" to the syntax diagram named
"type" directly below it (though I have to admit that this is not
necessarily clear...).
It seems that all syntax diagrams have the same issue:
That what should be declared is repeated in the declaration
itself which makes no sense to me.
A syntax diagram for 'type declaration' (which is written in the heading
already)
The heading is a caption.
In typesetting, normally that is not considered part of the diagram itself,
just like a table or figure caption is not considered part of the table or
figure.
Where can I find the documentation for my original question about the
double TYPE keyword?
This link explains it a bit:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE5/en/Type_Compatibility_and_Identity
But that's not part of the Free Pascal documentation.
So it's not available in the documentation of Free Pascal?
As Sven surmised, it will be in the next version.
I posted a preview for your benefit, please see my initial answer.
Michael.
