+           <para>Used to give an hint to the disambiguating parser.
+            When the parser is faced to the identifier (or symbol)
+            <command>s</command> or to any number, it will prefer
+            interpretations that &quot;map <command>s</command> (or the
+            number) to <command>def</command>&quot;. For identifiers,
+            &quot;def&quot; is the URI of the interpretation.
+            E.g.: <command>cic:/matita/nat/nat.ind#xpointer(1/1/1)</command>
+            for the first constructor of the first inductive type defined
+            in the block of inductive type(s)
+            <command>cic:/matita/nat/nat.ind</command>.
+            For symbols and numbers, &quot;def&quot; is the label used to
+            mark the wanted
+            <link linkend="interpretation">interpretation</link>.
+           </para>
+          <para>When a symbol or a number occurs several times in the
+           term to be parsed, it is possible to give an hint only for the
+           instance <command>n</command>. When the instance is omitted,
+           the hint is valid for every occurrence.
+          </para>
+          <para>
+           Hints are automatically inserted in the script by Matita every
+           time the user is interactively asked a question to disambiguate
+           a term. This way the user won't be posed the same question twice
+           when the script will be executed again.</para>
