<h1>match</h1>

<h2>Purpose</h2>

<p>Match if the element is in a match list. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}-->&nbsp;<span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->match</span> is 
 used only with _xWILD, and succeeds only if one of the list names matches 
 a node. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}-->&nbsp;<!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->match 
 and fail basically convert _xWILD from a wildcard to a restricted match 
 or fail on a list of names.</p>

<h2>Remarks</h2>

<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">match</span> can only be used with 
 _xWILD rule elements. <span style="font-weight: bold;">matches</span> 
 is an alternate form for match.</p>

<h2>Example</h2>

<p><span style="font-family: monospace;">_james &lt;- _xWILD [</span><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;">match</span><span style="font-family: monospace;">=(jim 
 jimmy james) singlet min=1 max=1] @@</span></p>
