This page presents the ATL textual syntax.

The authoritative ATL syntax is its specification in TCS: ATL.tcs. The following EBNF grammar has been automatically generated from this specification and manually beautified.

Identifiers like unit and module denote non-terminals. Terminals are given between single quotes (e.g., 'module', 'create'). The left hand side and right hand side of each production rule are separated by the colon-colon-equals (::=) operator. Traditional EBNF operators have the following semantics: * denotes a possibly empty repetition, + denotes a repetition with at least one occurrence, and ? denotes an optional single occurrence. Each production rule is terminated by a semicolon (;). The start symbol is unit.
