✨ page_intro — page introduction ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the page_intro(n) page, living in the Parser generator tools section of the manual 🎀 this one is short and sweet and it's basically the lil' welcome mat for a whole family of packages, so let's get into it 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so page — short for parser generator, iykyk — is actually the name for a whole set of related packages. they're all about helping you construct parser generators, plus other utilities that do text processing. slay 💖

they're mainly geared towards supporting the Tcllib application page, and the package page::pluginmgr is the main character here 🔥 — it holds a central role as the plugin management for the application. the other packages are out here doing low-level text processing and utility tasks geared towards parser generation, and they're mainly accessed by page through plugins 🧚

now, the packages that implement the plugins are not documented as regular packages 😭 and here's why: they cannot be loaded into a general interpreter, like tclsh, without extensive preparation of the interpreter. that preparation is done for them by the plugin manager. so it's giving "you can't just vibe-check these on your own, the manager has to set the stage first" 💀

🫶 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 🫶

ngl, this document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems 💀 please report such in the category page of the Tcllib Trackers [http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist]. and please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation — we want all of it, bestie 🌈

when proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u. periodt ✨

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. no cap, that's the move 👑
