7.1.4.12 Name value namevalue

    namevalue::= expr

A namevalue has the syntax of a glvn with the following restrictions:

  1. The glvn is not a naked reference.
  2. Each subscript whose value has the form of a number appears as specified in 7.1.4.3.
  3. Each subscript whose value does not have the form of a number as defined in 7.1.4.3 appears as a sublit, defined as follows:
        sublit::= " │
    │
    │    		 " "
    subnonquote    		 │
    │
    │    		 ... "

    where subnonquote is defined as follows:

        subnonquote::= any character valid in a subscript, excluding the quote symbol
  4. The environment appears as defined in b. and c. for subscripts.
  5. If the glvn is an ssvn, the name part of the ssvn will appear in uppercase in the unabbreviated form.
