💖 doctools::msgcat(n) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for doctools::msgcat(n), and it's filed under Documentation tools. It's giving message catalog management for the various document parsers, and we're gonna read it together like it's a group chat. No cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

doctools::msgcat — message catalog management for the various document parsers. That's the whole name, periodt.

📦 SYNOPSIS 📦

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require msgcat

package require doctools::msgcat ?0.2?

::doctools::msgcat::init prefix

So you require Tcl 8.5 9, then msgcat, then doctools::msgcat with ?0.2? sitting in the version spot, and then you can call ::doctools::msgcat::init with a prefix. The ?0.2? is just there in the synopsis, looking cute. 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The package doctools::msgcat is a support module handling the selection of message catalogs for the various document processing packages in the doctools system version 2. As such it is an internal package — a regular user (developer) should not be in direct contact with it. So like, it's backstage, not main character energy for you. 🙈

If you are such a regular user, please go the documentation of either:

1. doctools::doc,
2. doctools::toc, or
3. doctools::idx

Within the system architecture this package resides under the various parser packages, and is shared by them. Underneath it, but not explicit dependencies, are the packages providing the message catalogs for the various languages. So it's the popular friend who knows everyone but isn't officially dating them. 🌈

🔥 API 🔥

• ::doctools::msgcat::init prefix — The command locates and loads the message catalogs for all the languages returned by msgcat::mcpreferences, provided that they could be found. It returns an integer number describing how many packages were found and loaded. So it's like a little headcount of the catalog besties it found. 👑

The names of the packages the command will look for have the form "doctools::msgcat::prefix::langcode", with prefix the argument to the command, and the langcode supplied by the result of msgcat::mcpreferences. So prefix is you, and langcode comes from the msgcat::mcpreferences vibe check. 💅

😭 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. We're listening, bestie. 👂✨

When proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u. No vibes-only patches, okay? 😭

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. That's the move. 💅
