I would look for the word "Custom" in the documentation.

For example:

    Custom Language
    Custom Tag
    Custom Structure

Just my $0.02

I'm thinking that maybe this needs to be split into several pieces.

The original title 'Structure' probably referred to canvas, import, include, 
and library, which are how you organize your program structure.

There is another set of things I call 'meta tags' that are the tags you use to create 
your own new tags:  class, mixin, interface, attribute, method (missing), event, handler, 
setter (missing).  Lisp calls these 'special forms' because they are processed specially 
by the compiler, but I'm thinking a title like "Language" is better.

splash* and contextmenu* seem out of place in both these lists.  They are 
neither about structure nor language, they just seem like components, no 
different than window, menu, etc.

It seems like these should go in the "Structure" category in the TOC,
but that has become sort of a catch all for items that don't have a
more obvious category. Right now, the Structure category looks like
this:

Structure
    *<attribute>
    *<handler>
    *<event>
    *<canvas>
    *<import>
    *<include>
    *<library>
    *<mixin>
    *<splash>
    *<splash view>
    *<contextmenu>
    *<contextmenuitem>

You can see the entire TOC here<http://www.louiorio.com/openlaszlo/toc.html>
.

Items can appear in more than one category (for example,<event>  is in
both the Structure and Events categories).

Any ideas for a better organization? Better name for Structure?
