Element Language

The lang attribute is used to specify the language of element content and attribute text values: <p lang="en">The content of this element is in English.</p> <p lang="en" title="The value of this attribute is also in English.">The content of this el...

Elements with Multiple Languages

You can "overwrite" a language declaration: <p lang="en">This English sentence contains the German word <span lang="de">Hallo</span>.</p>

Handling Attributes with Different Languages

You can "overwrite" a parent element's language declaration by introducing any element apart from applet, base, basefont, br, frame, frameset, hr, iframe, meta, param, script (of HTML 4.0) with an own lang attribute: <p lang="en" title="An English paragraph"> ...

Base Document Language

It’s a good practice to declare the primary language of the document in the html element: <html lang="en"> If no other lang attribute is specified in the document, it means that everything (i.e., element content and attribute text values) is in that language. If the document con...

Section Element

The <section> element represents a generic section to thematically group content. Every section, typically, should be able to be identified with a heading element as a child of the section. You can use the <section> element within an <article> and vice-versa. Every section shou...

Relative group references

Subpatterns can be referenced with their relative group number: (?-1) will recurse into the previous group (?+1) will recurse into the next group Also usable with the \g<N> syntax.

Infinite sequences

Generators can be used to represent infinite sequences: def integers_starting_from(n): while True: yield n n += 1 natural_numbers = integers_starting_from(1) Infinite sequence of numbers as above can also be generated with the help of itertools.count. The above code cou...

Counting map elements

The built-in function len returns the number of elements in a map m := map[string]int{} len(m) // 0 m["foo"] = 1 len(m) // 1 If a variable points to a nil map, then len returns 0. var m map[string]int len(m) // 0

Reference a named capture group

As you may (or not) know, you can reference a capture group with: $1 1 being the group number. In the same way, you can reference a named capture group with: ${name} \{name} g\{name} Let's take the preceding example and replace the matches with The hero of the story is a ${subject}. T...

Reference Cycles and Weak References

A reference cycle (or retain cycle) is so named because it indicates a cycle in the object graph: Each arrow indicates one object retaining another (a strong reference). Unless the cycle is broken, the memory for these objects will never be freed. A retain cycle is created when two instances of ...

generating values

Most databases do not have a native way of generating a series of numbers for ad-hoc use; however, common table expressions can be used with recursion to emulate that type of function. The following example generates a common table expression called Numbers with a column i which has a row for numbe...

Element-wise operations

MATLAB supports (and encourages) vectorized operations on vectors and matrices. For example, suppose we have A and B, two n-by-m matrices and we want C to be the element-wise product of the corresponding elements (i.e., C(i,j) = A(i,j)*B(i,j)). The un-vectorized way, using nested loops is as follo...

Bitwise NOT

The ~ operator will flip all of the bits in the number. Since computers use signed number representations — most notably, the two's complement notation to encode negative binary numbers where negative numbers are written with a leading one (1) instead of a leading zero (0). This means that if you w...
