collection

Description​

collection is a table operator that lets you group together multiple symbols. They can then be referenced using the format CollectionName.Symbol where CollectionName is the name of the collection in which Symbol is defined. CollectionName.All can be used to reference all symbols within a single collection.

Usage Example​

Suppose you have a collection called Words that contains the following tables:

Words = collection:Nouns = text
casa
gato
sabor
animal
PossessiveAdjectives = text
mi
tu
su

Now you can defin a symbol NounPhrases in which you want to embed Nouns and PossessiveAdjectives to form noun phrases. To do this, you can reference the collection in which Nouns and PossessiveAdjectives are defined, like so: Words.Nouns and Words.PossessiveAdjectives. Now you can embed them (we're also adding a pound sign between the two words to stand in for a space, in the text column of the table below)!

NounPhrases = embedtextembed
Words.PossessiveAdjectives#Words.Nouns
