+There are rules triggered by changes to the data. In this example, rule 'one'
+is a constraint that prevents the value 'foo' from exceeding three. It is

+
+
+Rule Type: Tag
+--------------
+A defined tag is a way to associate metadata with a tag, such as a description
+and start/end dates for use:
+
+  define tag "tag1":
+    description "Description of tag1"
+    start       2016-01-01

 Built-in Functions
 ------------------
 There are several built-in functions, which may be used by rules:
 
   error   "An error occurred"
   warning "You have been warned"
-  info    "Yuo have been notified"
+  info    "You have been notified"
 
 An error call terminates processing.
