2 More steps.
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Two points about this feedback text are worth noting. First, to avoid overcrowding the main  paragraph, the text planner has deferred the sub-procedure for opening the Appointment Editor window, which is presented in a separate paragraph. To maintain a connection, the action of opening the Appointment Editor window is mentioned twice (as it happens, through different constructions). Secondly, no red (bold) anchors are left, so the knowledge base is potentially complete. (Of course it could be extended further, e.g. by adding more steps.) This means that the author may now generate an output text by switching the modality from 'Feedback' to 'Output'. The resulting instruction to the generator will be generate(procl, english, output) yielding the output text shown at the beginning of the section. Further output texts can be obtained by switching to another language, e.g.  Note that in output modality the generator ignores optional undefined attributes; the method for opening the Appointment Editor window thus reduces to a single action which can be re-united with its goal in the main paragraph.</Paragraph>
