 To perform on-the-fly variable declaration in an equation, simply follow the
-symbol name with a vertical line (``|``, pipe character) and either an ``e``, an
-``x``, or a ``p``. For example, to declare a parameter named
-``alphaa`` in the model block, you could write ``alphaa|p`` directly in

 this variable is encountered.
