+.SH NAME
+lrepeat \- Build a list by repeating elements
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBlrepeat \fInumber element1 \fR?\fIelement2 element3 ...\fR?
+.BE
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBlrepeat\fR command creates a list of size \fInumber * number of
+elements\fR by repeating \fInumber\fR times the sequence of elements
+\fIelement1 element2 ...\fR. \fInumber\fR must be a positive integer,
+\fIelementn\fR can be any Tcl value. Note that \fBlrepeat 1 arg ...\fR
+is identical to \fBlist arg ...\fR, though the \fIarg\fR is required
+with \fBlrepeat\fR.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.CS
+\fBlrepeat\fR 3 a
+ \fI\(-> a a a\fR
+\fBlrepeat\fR 3 [\fBlrepeat\fR 3 0]
+ \fI\(-> {0 0 0} {0 0 0} {0 0 0}\fR
+\fBlrepeat\fR 3 a b c
+ \fI\(-> a b c a b c a b c\fR
+\fBlrepeat\fR 3 [\fBlrepeat\fR 2 a] b c
+ \fI\(-> {a a} b c {a a} b c {a a} b c\fR
