How to initialise an abstract in Julia?

Julia> abstract Shape
ERROR: syntax: extra token "Shape" after end of expression
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope at REPL[64]:0

Just wanted to create an abstract but it says following even when I use help?> Is there any alternate to this?

help?> abstract
search: AbstractSet abstract type AbstractChar AbstractDict AbstractFloat

Couldn't find abstract
Perhaps you meant struct or AbstractSet
  No documentation found.

  Binding abstract does not exist.

The correct syntax is abstract type Shape end.

You can find the docs in the REPL help mode with the full keyword:

help?> abstract type

There is online documentation on the keyword and more general documentation on types.
