50 50  * Ecore enumerations (EEnum) must be defined with an {{code language="none"}}enum{{/code}} grammar rule (see documentation). This is not correct in the predefined grammar and is marked with a TODO note.
51 +* At some points you will need to reference other elements, which need to have some kind of identifier string in order to do this. If those elements do not have a string attribute yet, you need to modify the meta model and add such an attribute.
52 +* There are some predefined terminal rules that can be reused and are already imported in the grammar file. Click on {{code language="none"}}org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals{{/code}} at the top of the document and hit F3 to see those terminal definitions.

54 +Test the new grammar by re-generating the code (after the first time, the GenerateTuring workflow should be available in the run configurations menu) and starting a test instance of Eclipse. Use your newly designed textual syntax for writing a Turing Machine that copies the input word infinitely often.

58 +Xtext supports automatic formatting, which is available in the text editor with right-click → //Format// or ctrl+shift+F. However, the formatter must be configured in order to generate good results. Write a formatter configuration that fits well to your syntax by editing the generated file {{code language="none"}}TuringFormatter{{/code}} in the {{code language="none"}}formatting{{/code}} subpackage. Learn how this is done by reading the Xtext reference documentation → Runtime Concepts → Formatting.
