DESCRIPTION
This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into
various forms.
API
::page::util::quote::unquote char
A character, as stored in an abstract syntax tree by a PEG pro-
cessor (See the packages grammar::peg::interpreter, grammar::me,
and their relations), i.e. in some quoted form, is converted
into the equivalent Tcl character. The character is returned as
the result of the command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and
converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser,
will regenerate the character in question and is 7bit ASCII. The
string is returned as the result of this command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and
converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser
and will generate a human readable representation of the charac-
ter in question. The string is returned as the result of this
command.
The string does not use any unprintable characters. It may use
backslash-quoting. High UTF characters are quoted to avoid prob-
lems with the still prevalent ascii terminals. It is assumed
that the string will be used in a double-quoted environment.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and
converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser
when used within a Tcl comment. The string is returned as the
result of this command.
