All transformations in Enterprise Architect work by generating a text form of the model to generate.

Any element is represented in this language by the type of element (eg. Class, Action, Method, Generalization or Tag) followed by the properties of the element and the elements that it is made from.  The grammar for this resembles the following.

element:

       elementName { (elementProperty | element)* }

 

elementProperty:

       packageName

       stereotype

       propertyName = " propertyValueSymbol* "

 

packageName:

       name = " propertyValueSymbol* " ( . " propertyValueSymbol* " )*

stereotype:

       stereotype = " propertyValueSymbol* " ( , " propertyValueSymbol* " )*

 

propertyValueSymbol:

       \\

       \"

       Any character except " (U+0022), \ (U+005C)

 

Literal strings can be included in property values by escaping a quote character. For example.

default = "\"Some string value.\""
