Constructor Details

#initialize(target, content = nil) ⇒ Instruction

Constructs a new Instruction the target of this instruction is set to this. If an Instruction, then the Instruction is shallowly cloned (target and content are copied). If a Source, then the source is scanned and parsed for an Instruction declaration. be a Parent if the target argument is a Source. Otherwise, this String is set as the content of this instruction.

Parameters:

  • target —

    can be one of a number of things. If String, then

  • content (defaults to: nil) —

    Must be either a String, or a Parent. Can only
