General.NamingConventions

The following naming conventions apply to most of the names within an OTX solution:

• Root node (solution node) (non-standard OTX)
  • No naming conventions

• Project (non-standard OTX)
  • The name of an OTX project should only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes, and the total length of the path to the project should be less than 128 characters (e.g. D:\Solution1\Project1\Project1.otfPrj < 128 characters).

• Package
  • The naming convention is based on the following regular expression: " [a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z0-9] *(\.[)"a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z0-9]*)*" "
  • It is divided into one or more parts of alphanumeric characters separated by a period ("."). Each part begins with a letter followed with alphanumeric characters and corresponds to the name of the folder in the file system.
    • Right:
      • "Packages.SubPackage1.SubSubPackage1"
      • "My10Package"
    • Wrong:
      • "Packages._SubPackage1.OTX"
      • "MesSéquencesTest"
      • "10thPackage"
      • ""

• OtxName
  • The naming convention is based on the following regular expression: "_ * [a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z0-9_] *"
  • It starts with a letter (optionally preceded by any number of underscore characters); all following characters are alphanumeric characters including underscores ("_").
    • Right:
      • "MySignature"
      • "__variable10"
      • "COS"
      • "_p2"
    • Wrong:
      • "8x"
      • "___"
      • ""

• OtxLink
  • The naming convention follows the following regular expression: "(_ * [a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z0-9_] * :) _ * [a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z0-9_]? *"
  • For internal references the naming convention corresponds to the OtxName
  • If the referenced element is outside of the current document, a prefix followed by a colon is prepended. The prefix also corresponds to the OtxName (OtxName:OtxName)
    • Right:
      • "MyDocument"
      • "Y"
      • "Doc1:mySignature10"
      • "Constants:Omega"
