@ -95,8 +95,8 @@ and code execution in the executable.
The compiler parses Nim source code into an internal data structure called the
`abstract syntax tree`:idx: (`AST`:idx:). Then, before executing the code or
compiling it into the executable, it transforms the AST through `semantic
analysis`:idx:. This adds semantic information such as expression types,
compiling it into the executable, it transforms the AST through
`semantic analysis`:idx:. This adds semantic information such as expression types,
identifier meanings, and in some cases expression values. An error detected
during semantic analysis is called a `static error`:idx:. Errors described in
this manual are static errors when not otherwise specified.
