+ <modulesummary>Abstract datatype for the annotations of the Erlang Compiler.
+ </modulesummary>
+
+ <description>
+ <p>This module provides an abstract type that is used by the
+ Erlang Compiler and its helper modules for holding data such as
+ column, line number, and text. The data type is a collection of
+ <marker id="annotations"/><em>annotations</em> as
+ described in the following.</p>
+
+ <p>The Erlang Token Scanner returns tokens with a subset of
+ the following annotations, depending on the options:</p>
+
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>column</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The column where the token begins.</p></item>
+ <tag><c>location</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The line and column where the token begins, or
+ just the line if the column is unknown.</p></item>
+ <tag><c>text</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The token's text.</p></item>
+ </taglist>
+
+ <p>From this, the following annotation is derived:</p>
+
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>line</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The line where the token begins.</p></item>
+ </taglist>
+
+ <p>This module also supports the following annotations,
+ which are used by various modules:</p>
+
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>file</c></tag>
+ <item><p>A filename.</p></item>
+ <tag><c>generated</c></tag>
+ <item><p>A Boolean indicating if the abstract code is
+ compiler-generated. The Erlang Compiler does not emit warnings
+ for such code.</p></item>
+ <tag><c>record</c></tag>
+ <item><p>A Boolean indicating if the origin of the abstract
+ code is a record. Used by
+ <seealso marker="dialyzer:dialyzer">Dialyzer</seealso>
+ to assign types to tuple elements.</p>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+
+ <p>The functions
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#column/1"><c>column()</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#end_location/1"><c>end_location()</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#line/1"><c>line()</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#location/1"><c>location()</c></seealso>, and
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#text/1"><c>text()</c></seealso>
+ in the <c>erl_scan</c> module can be used for inspecting
+ annotations in tokens.</p>
+
+ <p>The functions
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#anno_from_term/1">
+ <c>anno_from_term()</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#anno_to_term/1">
+ <c>anno_to_term()</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#fold_anno/3"><c>fold_anno()</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#map_anno/2"><c>map_anno()</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#mapfold_anno/3">
+ <c>mapfold_anno()</c></seealso>,
+ and <seealso marker="erl_parse#new_anno/1"><c>new_anno()</c></seealso>,
+ in the <c>erl_parse</c> module can be
+ used for manipulating annotations in abstract code.</p>
