Installation seems OK. File generation OK

This code generates a syntax error:

!definelong TABLE(name)
entity name
!enddefinelong

TABLE(house) {
   * mandatory_attribute **in bold**
   **optional_attribute**
}

This code works:

!definelong TABLE(name)
entity name {
!enddefinelong

TABLE(house)
   * mandatory_attribute **in bold**
   **optional_attribute**
}
