This predicate, when defined, is automatically called by the <a href="expand_term2.html"><code>expand_term/2</code></a> method. Use of this predicate by the <code>expand_term/2</code> method may be restricted by using a scope directive for it. The <code>term_expansion/2</code> clauses are only used by the <code>expand_term/2</code> method if they are within the scope of the <em>sender</em>. When that is not the case, the <code>expand_term/2</code> method only uses the default expansions. </p> <h4>Template and modes</h4> <pre>term_expansion(?term, ?term)</pre> <h4>Errors</h4> <dl> <dt>(none)</dt> </dl> <h4>Examples</h4> <dl> <dt>(none)</dt> </dl> <div class="footer"> <div class="copyright"> <span>Copyright © <a href="mailto:pmoura@logtalk.org">Paulo Moura</a> — <a href="http://logtalk.org">Logtalk.org</a></span><br/> <span>Last updated on: October 26, 2006</span> </div> <div class="navbottom"> <span><a href="expand_term2.html">previous</a> | <a href="../../glossary.html">glossary</a> | <a href="../index.html#methods">next</a></span><br/> <span><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">XHTML</a> + <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer">CSS</a></span> </div> </div> </body> </html>
