💖 docidx_lang_faq — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to docidx_lang_faq, a page from the 3tcl manual of the Documentation tools collection. yes it's the docidx language faq. yes it's short. no we're not skipping anything. let's go ✨

🦋 NAME

docidx_lang_faq — the docidx language faq, fr fr

🌸 DESCRIPTION

✨ OVERVIEW

🎀 WHAT IS THIS DOCUMENT?

so like. right now? this document is mostly a placeholder 😭. the whole plan is that it eventually gets filled up with the commonly asked questions about the docidx markup language and its companions, plus the answers to those questions. but bestie, the questions haven't arrived yet, so the page is just sitting here with main character energy and no lines 💅.

if you've got questions — and especially if you've got answers too — please report them so they can be considered for this document. the exact how is explained down in the Bugs, Ideas, Feedback section below 🫶. don't be shy.

💜 EXAMPLES

🌈 WHERE DO I FIND DOCIDX EXAMPLES?

ngl, we have no direct examples of documents written using docidx markup. zero. none. 🙈

BUT. plot twist. the doctools processor dtplite does generate a table of contents when it processes a set of documents written in doctools markup. and here's the slay part: the intermediate file it makes for that uses docidx markup, and it does not get deleted when generation completes. so those leftover files? they can totally serve as examples 👑

dtplite is distributed as part of Tcllib, so to get your hands on it you need one of these two iconic options:

  1. A snapshot of Tcllib. How to retrieve such a snapshot, and the tools you need for that, are described at Development Snapshots [/wiki?name=Development+Snapshots]
  2. A Tcllib release archive. Those live over at the home [/home] page 💖

🔥 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK

real talk: this document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems 💀. that's just how it is. please report them in the category doctools of the Tcllib Trackers [http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist].

and please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either the package and/or the documentation. we want them. we need them. ✨

when proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs — i.e. the output of diff -u. no cap.

also note: attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches 🫶. you can make an attachment 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. that's the move.
