Deprecated spelling of text

Last updated: 2026-09-09

Package: language | Status: deprecated

Tags: boundaries, keyword, language, yeho

Do not use these in new code. Replace them when touching an older file.

```yh
string
```


## Migration: string to text

Do not use these in new code. Replace them when touching an older file.

Verification: type checked

```yh
// Old: string greeting = "Hello"
text greeting = "Hello"
```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.word_string"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/word--string/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Class honor-language aliases are also deprecated; use class.

The compiler diagnostics should point to the canonical spelling.
