Uninscribed Remainder of Line (vacat)

Syntax

The greather-than sign ! followed by the letter l for “line” and a number corresponding to the character count (followed by the optional precision notation), the whole enclosed within square brackets […].

Overview

Notation	Conceptual AST	Paper Output
`[>lN‽ᵟ]`	`Vacat{ count: n, unit: Line, precision: γ }`	`vacat n◇ᵟ`

L = non-digit genitive plural of the Latin cardinal numeral corresponding to N.
𝑛 ∈ ℕ (natural numbers).
‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
