## NAME

page\_intro - page introduction

## DESCRIPTION

*page* (short for *parser generator*) stands for a set of related packages which help in the construction of parser generators, and other utilities doing text processing.

They are mainly geared towards supporting the Tcllib application **page**, with the package **page::pluginmgr** in a central role as the plugin management for the application. The other packages are performing low-level text processing and utility tasks geared towards parser generation and mainly accessed by **page** through plugins.

The packages implementing the plugins are not documented as regular packages, as they cannot be loaded into a general interpreter, like tclsh, without extensive preparation of the interpreter. Preparation which is done for them by the plugin manager.
