You can use define infix-function
to define an infix function or operator. An infix function is a function that takes exactly two arguments. The function name is placed between the first and the second argument. The function name may be an OmniMark name or symbol.
The following example defines an infix function to determine the distance between two characters in the ASCII character set:
define integer infix-function value string a distance value string b as assert length of a = 1 & length of b = 1 message "Single characters only please." return binary b - binary a process output "d" % ("A" distance "Q")
An infix function must return a value. The arguments to an infix function must be passed as value
arguments.
Infix functions may be overloaded but not dynamic or external.
