==Notes==

; Postgenerator alarms
Many monodixes handle postgenerator alarms <code>&lt;a/></code> explicitly in each entry. As a result, left-to-right entries have to be separated from right-to-left entries. However, it could be much easier to write a paradigm like

<pre>
<pardef n="wiggle">
<e r="LR">
<i/>
</e>
<e r="RL">
<l><a/></l>
<r></r>
</e>
</pardef>
</pre>

and then invoke it in entries as follows

<pre>
<e lm="a">
<par n="wiggle"/>
<i>a</i>
</par n="a__pr"/>
</e>
</pre>

This suggests that perhaps it would be even easier to change the meaning of <code><a/></code> so that it only works right to left, or perhaps endow it with the <code>r</code> attribute as follows: <code><a r="RL"/></code>.
