		+	===== The <connectorParam> Element =====
		+	==== Definition and Usage ====
		+
		+	The [[connectorparam|<connectorParam>]] element is used to parameterize connector
		+	attribute values.  Any attribute defined by a [[causalconnector|<causalConnector>]] element
		+	or by its descendent elements can have its value specified as a parameter
		+	whose value is defined by the relationship that refers to the connector,
		+	using [[linkparam|<linkParam>]] or [[bindparam|<bindParam>]] elements.
		+
		+	In a [[connectorparam|<connectorParam>]] element the //name// attribute defines the
		+	parameter name and the //type// attribute the parameter type.
		+
		+	In order to specify that an attribute defined by the [[causalconnector|<causalConnector>]]
		+	element or by its descendent elements receivesthe parameter value,it is
		+	sufficient to defined the attribute value as the parameter name preceded by
		+	the "$" symbol.  For instance, in order to parameterize the delay attribute
		+	of a [[simpleaction|<simpleAction>]] element, a parameter called //actionDelay// is
		+	defined and the value "$actionDelay" is used in the attribute
		+	(//delay//="$actionDelay").
		+
		+	==== Syntax ====
		+	^ Element ^ Attributes ^ Content ^ Parent ^
