[description]
[para]
This document contains the formal specification of the syntax of the
doctoc markup language, version 1.1 in Backus-Naur-Form. This document
is intended to be a reference, complementing the
[term {doctoc language command reference}].
A beginner should read the much more informally written
[term {doctoc language introduction}] first before trying to
understand either this document or the command reference.
[section Fundamentals]
In the broadest terms possible the [term {doctoc markup language}] is
like SGML and similar languages. A document written in this language
consists primarily of markup commands, with text embedded into it at
some places.
[para]
Each markup command is a just Tcl command surrounded by a matching
pair of [const [lb]] and [const [rb]]. Which commands are available,
and their arguments, i.e. syntax is specified in the
[term {doctoc language command reference}].
[para]
In this document we specify first the lexeme, and then the syntax,
i.e. how we can mix text and markup commands with each other.
[section {Lexical definitions}]
In the syntax rules listed in the next section
[list_begin enumerated]
[enum]
<TEXT> stands for all text except markup commands.
[enum]
Any XXX stands for the markup command [lb]xxx[rb] including its
arguments. Each markup command is a Tcl command surrounded by a
matching pair of [const [lb]] and [const [rb]]. Inside of these
delimiters the usual rules for a Tcl command apply with regard to word
quotation, nested commands, continuation lines, etc.
[enum]
<WHITE> stands for all text consisting only of spaces, newlines,
tabulators and the [cmd comment] markup command.
[list_end]
[section Syntax]
The rules listed here specify only the syntax of doctoc documents. The
lexical level of the language was covered in the previous section.
[para]
Regarding the syntax of the (E)BNF itself
[list_begin enumerated]
[enum]
The construct { X } stands for zero or more occurrences of X.
[enum]
The construct [lb] X [rb] stands for zero or one occurrence of X.
[list_end]
The syntax:
[example {
toc = defs
TOC_BEGIN
contents
TOC_END
{ <WHITE> }
defs = { INCLUDE | VSET | <WHITE> }
contents = { defs entry } [ defs ]
entry = ITEM | division
division = DIVISION_START
contents
DIVISION_END
}]
