## NAME

doctoc\_lang\_faq - doctoc language faq

## DESCRIPTION

## OVERVIEW

### WHAT IS THIS DOCUMENT?

This document is currently mainly a placeholder, to be filled with commonly asked questions about the doctoc markup language and companions, and their answers.

Please report any questions (and, if possible, answers) we should consider for this document as explained in the section **Bugs, Ideas, Feedback** below.

## EXAMPLES

### WHERE DO I FIND DOCTOC EXAMPLES?

We have no direct examples of documents written using doctoc markup. However the doctools processor **dtplite** does generate a table of contents when processing a set of documents written in doctools markup. The intermediate file for it uses doctoc markup and is not deleted when generation completes. Such files can therefore serve as examples.

**dtplite** is distributed as part of Tcllib, so to get it you need one of

- \[1\]

  A snapshot of Tcllib. How to retrieve such a snapshot and the tools required for this are described at *Development Snapshots* \[/wiki?name=Development+Snapshots\]

- \[2\]

  A Tcllib release archive. They are available at the *home* \[/home\] page.

## 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* \[http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist\]. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.

When proposing code changes, please provide *unified diffs*, i.e the output of **diff -u**.

Note further that *attachments* are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments can be made by going to the **Edit** form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar.
