 Here you can also write the right-hand side without the asterisks, as <code><B>external</B></code>. If, however, all keywords are to use boldface, it is preferable to write a single entry  <code>Keyword |<B> * </B></code> which, thanks to the asterisk, will govern all construct specimens of the <code>Keyword</code> category. You can still override this specification for an individual keyword by including a specific entry for it.
