+@c ================================================== api.token.prefix
+@deffn Directive {%define api.token.prefix} @{@var{prefix}@}
+
+@itemize
+@item Languages(s): all
+
+@item Purpose:
+Add a prefix to the token names when generating their definition in the
+target language. For instance
+
+@example
+%token FILE for ERROR
+%define api.token.prefix @{TOK_@}
+%%
+start: FILE for ERROR;
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+generates the definition of the symbols @code{TOK_FILE}, @code{TOK_for},
+and @code{TOK_ERROR} in the generated source files. In particular, the
+scanner must use these prefixed token names, while the grammar itself
+may still use the short names (as in the sample rule given above). The
+generated informational files (@file{*.output}, @file{*.xml},
+@file{*.dot}) are not modified by this prefix.
+
+Bison also prefixes the generated member names of the semantic value union.
+@xref{Type Generation,, Generating the Semantic Value Type}, for more
+details.
+
+See @ref{Calc++ Parser} and @ref{Calc++ Scanner}, for a complete example.
+
+@item Accepted Values:
+Any string. Should be a valid identifier prefix in the target language,
+in other words, it should typically be an identifier itself (sequence of
+letters, underscores, and ---not at the beginning--- digits).
+
+@item Default Value:
+empty

+@c ================================================== api.value.type
+@deffn Directive {%define api.value.type} @var{type}
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Language(s):
+all
+
+@item Purpose:
+The type for semantic values.
+
+@item Accepted Values:
+@table @asis
+@item @code{""}
+This grammar has no semantic value at all. This is not properly supported
+yet.
+@item @code{%union} (C, C++)
+The type is defined thanks to the @code{%union} directive. You don't have
+to define @code{api.value.type} in that case, using @code{%union} suffices.
+@xref{Union Decl, ,The Union Declaration}.
+For instance:
+@example
+%define api.value.type "%union"
+%union
+@{
+ int ival;
+ char *sval;
+@}
+%token <ival> INT "integer"
+%token <sval> STR "string"
+@end example
+
+@item @code{union} (C, C++)
+The symbols are defined with type names, from which Bison will generate a
+@code{union}. For instance:
+@example
+%define api.value.type "union"
+%token <int> INT "integer"
+%token <char *> STR "string"
+@end example
+This feature needs user feedback to stabilize. Note that most C++ objects
+cannot be stored in a @code{union}.
+
+@item @code{variant} (C++)
+This is similar to @code{union}, but special storage techniques are used to
+allow any kind of C++ object to be used. For instance:
+@example
+%define api.value.type "variant"
+%token <int> INT "integer"
+%token <std::string> STR "string"
+@end example
+This feature needs user feedback to stabilize.
+@xref{C++ Variants}.
+
+@item any other identifier
+Use this name as semantic value.
+@example
+%code requires
+@{
+ struct my_value
+ @{
+ enum
+ @{
+ is_int, is_str
+ @} kind;
+ union
+ @{
+ int ival;
+ char *sval;
+ @} u;
+ @};
+@}
+%define api.value.type "struct my_value"
+%token <u.ival> INT "integer"
+%token <u.sval> STR "string"
+@end example
+@end table
+
+@item Default Value:
+@itemize @minus
+@item
+@code{%union} if @code{%union} is used, otherwise @dots{}
+@item
+@code{int} if type tags are used (i.e., @samp{%token <@var{type}>@dots{}} or
+@samp{%token <@var{type}>@dots{}} is used), otherwise @dots{}
+@item
+@code{""}
