Primitive Tags are classes of tags included in the base module.

• Default
  • Position (pos) {int_x & str : ['a||A' || 'r||R'] ; int_y & str : ['a||A' || 'r||R']}
  • Size (sz) {int_w & int_h}
  • Background (bg) {hx : 0 <> FFFFFFFF || str : path}
  • Layout (lay) {}

F.i : crateA(pos=["48R",16]) || crateB(pos=[12,12]) || crateC(pos=["12a","12r"])

The position type is derived from the matching position type of it's nearest parent that has a defined position type.
The highest parent must have an explicit position type as they have no parent. In such a case, absolute and relative positioning will both have the same effect on that crate's final position.

F.i : a(pos=["12A","32A"]) > b(pos=[8,4]) > c(pos=["R","R"]) > d(pos=[4,4])
Here, B's position types are absolute for both axes as defined by it's nearest parent.
C redefines it's position as relative for both axes, thus D will be placed 4 units relative to C.

• Text fields
  • Text {str}
  • Font {str : path}
  • Weight {int : 100<>900 || str : ["light", "normal", "bold"]}
  • Modifiable {bool}
  • Selectable {bool}

Defining the relation in the attribute value itself turned out not to be that great of an idea ; it has therefore been scrapped in favour of value types. As in, data types.
From now on, and likely forever :

• int : value in pixels
• float : relative to parent's corresponding attribute

Position mode does no longer cascade nor propagate to a crate's children.

As a temporary byproduct, this also fixes having to declare attributes as strings.
