Thanks, I will change it to null and file a JIRA to parse the
other case.

`value="$x{y}"` is shorthand for `value="x" when="y"`, so I would say the doc tool needs to know how to parse both.

Do you mean shorthand for value="y" when "x"? Otherwise it would be value="immediately" when="null".



OTOH `$immediately{null}` is exactly the same as `null`; i.e., the default value for `when` is immediately.

Oh and, `${y}` is shorthand for `$always{y}`, because that is the most common reason for a when other than immediately.

The simple work-around for now would appear to be to remove the (useles) constraint from the source.

Hey, I noticed you three were the last that touched this, maybe you know....

<basegrid> has a couple attributes:

<attribute name="bgcolor0" type="color" value="$immediately{null}"/> <attribute name="bgcolor1" type="color" value="$immediately{null}"/>

$immediately{null} means nothing to the doctools, and it shows as just that.
I noticed basetabs.lzx has:

<attribute name="inset_top" value="8" type="number" when="immediately" />

So maybe when="immediately" is meant?

This code has been in basegrid.lzx since r726 when it was imported from perforce.
Thanks,
