export serial configuration

DESCRIPTION

This package implements the doctools keyword index export plugin for the generation of wiki markup.

This is an internal package of doctools, for use by the higher level management packages handling keyword indices, especially doctools::idx::export, the export manager.

Using it from a regular interpreter is possible, however only with contortions, and is not recommended. The proper way to use this functionality is through the package doctools::idx::export and the export manager objects it provides.

API

The API provided by this package satisfies the specification of the docidx export plugin API version 2.

Wiki markup

The basic syntax of the wiki markup generated by this plugin are described at http://wiki.tcl.tk/14.

The plugin goes beyond the classic markup to generate proper headers and either a table or indented list of the keywords and their references.

Configuration

The wiki export plugin recognizes the following configuration variables and changes its behaviour as they specify.

Note that this plugin ignores the standard configuration variables user, file and format, and their values.

Keyword index serialization format

Here we specify the format used by the doctools v2 packages to serialize keyword indices as immutable values for transport, comparison, etc.

We distinguish between regular and canonical serializations. While a keyword index may have more than one regular serialization only exactly one of them will be canonical.

Bugs, Ideas, Feedback

This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category doctools of the Tcllib Trackers. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.
