+<p><strong>Optscript</strong> is an implementation of PostScript(tm) alike stack
+oriented general purpose programming language. Developers of optlib
+parsers can utilize the language for extending their parsers.</p>
+<p>You may not be familiar with a stack oriented programming language.
+Though there are some differences, the syntax and core non-graphical
+operators of Optscript and PostScript are the same. You can get the
+basic knowledge for using Optscript from the materials for learning
+PostScript.</p>
+<p>“PostScript Language Tutorial &amp; Cookbook” published by Adobe Systems
+Inc. The book is known as “blue book”. This is the best place to
+start. PostScript is a language for controlling printers. So it has
+many graphical operators. Optscript is for tagging, and doesn’t have
+such graphical operators. So you can skip the sections about graphics
+(but you may want to read them because the book is written well).</p>
+<p>Ghostscript (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gs</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gsnd</span></code>) is an interpreter for the PostScript
+language and PDF files. Unlike Optscript, it implements the full-set of
+PostScript features including graphical operators. It is available
+under either the GNU GPL Affero license. You can Ghostscript while
+reading the blue book. Do web searching to know about Ghostscript.</p>
+<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optscript</span></code> is an command that source files are included in
+Universal Ctags source tree. You can use it as the replacement of
+<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gs</span></code>. However, I recommend you to have <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gs</span></code> at hand because
+<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optscript</span></code> may have bugs. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gs</span></code> is much mature than <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optscript</span></code>.
+Having two interpreters helps you to know correct behavior.</p>
+<p>Though <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gs</span></code> has much higher qualities than <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optscript</span></code>, eventually
+you may have to build the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">optscript</span></code> command to learn Optscript
+specific operators. You can built the command with “<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span>
+<span class="pre">optscript</span></code>”.</p>

+<p>You can run optscript code fragments when pattern specified with

+<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--mline-regex-&lt;LANG&gt;</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--_mtable-regex-&lt;LANG&gt;</span></code> as you

+<p>TBW: two timings of evaluation</p>
+<p>Put code fragments at the end of options with surrounding “<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{{</span></code>” and
+“<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">}}</span></code>”. Though it is not impossible, a command line is not suitable
+place to put code fragments because the code fragments may be long.
+Instead, you should write them to a .ctags file.</p>
+<div class="admonition warning">
+<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
+<p>An important rule in writing Optscript code in a file is
+the start marker, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{{</span></code> must be at the end of line, and the end
+marker <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">}}</span></code> must be at the beginning of line. If you break the

+<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--_sequel-&lt;LANG&gt;</span></code> is for for specified code fragments run at the end
+of parser a source file. You can use this option for debug-printing
