The full AIML reference manual can be +found online at http://alicebot.org/TR/2001/WD-aiml. + +The following tags are currently supported: + + <bot name="name"> (see notes) + <condition> + <date> + <formal> + <gender> + <get> + <id> + <input> + <learn> + <li> + <lowercase> + <person> + <person2> + <random> + <sentence> + <set> + <size> + <sr> + <srai> + <star> + <system> + <that> + <thatstar> + <think> + <topic> + <topicstar> + <uppercase> + <version> + +Support for the following tags should be implemented in the next version: + + None + +The following tags are not supported: + + <gossip> (see notes) + <if> / <else> (see notes) + <javascript> (see notes) + <secure> (see notes) + +------------------------------------------------------------------ + +NOTES ON SPECIFIC TAGS: + +<bot name="name"> +To set the bot's name, use Kernel.setBotName("NewName"). Note that the +name *MUST* be a single word! Use Kernel.getBotName() to query the bot's +name in your code. + +<gossip> +The AIML 1.0.1 specification lets engine authors implement the the behavior +of the <gossip> tag however they wish. I haven't yet decided what I'd like +to do with it, so right now it doesn't do anything at all. + +<if> / <else> +These elements appear to have been dropped between AIML 1.0 and AIML 1.0.1. +They may someday be added as a part of an AIML 1.0 backwards-compatibility +mode, but in the meantime, use <condition> instead. + +<javascript> +Support for the JavaScript tag is not anticipated; one of the design +goals of PyAIML is to remain 100% pure standard Python. So until +somebody writes a JavaScript interpreter in Python, PyAIML won't +support the <javascript> tag. On the bright side, it is possible +to simulate the effects of the <javascript> tag (i.e. dynamically- +generated tag contents) using the <system mode="sync"> tag. This +solution has the added advantage of allowing *any* programming +language to be used, not just JavaScript. +UPDATE: The python-spidermonkey project provides a bridge between Python +and the open-source SpiderMonkey JavaScript library. I am currently +investigating the possibility of adding support for the <javascript> +tag ON A PURELY OPTIONAL BASIS. + +<secure> +Some AIML implementations support a non-standard <secure> tag, intended to +wrap parts of a template which should only be processed if the user is +"secure", or trusted. After implementing support for this tag, I realized +that it wasn't doing anything that you can't do with the <condition> tag. +Therefore, I've decided to drop support for the <secure> tag. You can +easily duplicate its effects; simply replace this: + <secure error="you're not allowed">you are allowed</secure> +with this: + <condition name="secure"> + <li value="yes">you are allowed</li> + <li>you are not allowed</li> + </condition> +Then, use the Kernel.setPredicate() call to set the "secure" predicate to +"yes" for any session that you wish to be secure.
