| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``parse(Source,Term)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``parse(++compound,--term)`` - ``one_or_error``

Generates the content using the representation specified in the first argument (``codes(List)``, ``stream(Stream)``, ``file(Path)``, ``chars(List)``, or ``atom(Atom)``) for the term in the second argument. Fails if this term cannot be processed.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``generate(Sink,Term)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
