The \fIlist\fR argument must be a valid Tcl list.

\fIjoinString\fR separating each adjacent pair of elements.
The \fIjoinString\fR argument defaults to a space character.

Making a comma-separated list:
.CS
.ta 2i
set data {1 2 3 4 5}
\fBjoin\fR $data ", "
\fB\(->\fI 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\fR
.CE

Using \fBjoin\fR to flatten a list by a single level:
