The argument text is marked up as a comment standing +outside of the actual text of the document. Main use is in free-form +text. + +[call [cmd include] [arg filename]] + +Templating. The contents of the named file are interpreted as text +written in the docidx markup and processed in the place of the +include command. The markup in the file has to be self-contained. It +is not possible for a markup command to cross the file boundaries. + +[call [cmd index_begin] [arg text] [arg title]] + +Document structure. The command to start an index. The arguments are a +label for the whole group of documents the index refers to +([arg text]) and the overall title text for the index ([arg title]), +without markup. + +[para] + +The label often is the name of the package (or extension) the +documents belong to. + +[call [cmd index_end]] + +Document structure. Command to end an index. Anything in the document +coming after this command is in error. + +[call [cmd key] [arg text]] + +Index structure. This command adds the keyword [arg text] to the +index. + +[call [cmd lb]] + +Text. The command is replaced with a left bracket. Use in free-form +text. Required to avoid interpretation of a left bracket as the start +of a markup command. Its usage is restricted to the arguments of other +markup commands. + +[call [cmd manpage] [arg file] [arg text]] + +Index structure. This command adds an element to the index which +refers to a document. The document is specified through the symbolic +name [arg file]. The [arg text] argument is used to label the +reference. + +[para] + +Symbolic names are used to preserve the convertibility of this format +to any output format. The actual name of the file will be inserted by +the chosen formatting engine when converting the input. This will be +based on a mapping from symbolic to actual names given to the engine. + +[call [cmd rb]] + +Text. The command is replaced with a right bracket. Use in free-form +text. Required to avoid interpretation of a right bracket as the end +of a markup command. Its usage is restricted to the arguments of other +commands. + +[call [cmd url] [arg url] [arg label]] + +Index structure. This is the second command to add an element to the +index. To refer to a document it is not using a symbolic name however, +but a (possibly format-specific) url describing the exact location of +the document indexed here. + +[call [cmd vset] [arg varname] [arg value] ] + +Templating. In this form the command sets the named document variable +to the specified [arg value]. It does not generate output. I.e. the +command is replaced by the empty string. + +[call [cmd vset] [arg varname]] + +Templating. In this form the command is replaced by the value of the +named document variable + +[list_end] + +[vset CATEGORY doctools] +[include ../doctools2base/include/feedback.inc] +[manpage_end] |
