NAME

XmParseTable -- Data type for a compound string parse table

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h>

DESCRIPTION

XmParseTable is the data type for an array of parse mappings (objects
of type XmParseMapping).

A parse table is used by some routines that parse and unparse
compound strings. The table is an ordered list of parse mappings. A
parsing routine that uses a parse table scans the input text and
searches the parse mappings, in order, for one containing a pattern
that matches the input text. The matching parse mapping supplies a
compound string to be included in the compound string under
construction.

An unparsing routine that uses a parse table searches the parse
mappings, in order, for one containing a compound string that matches
the input compound string. The unparsing routine can then include
the parse mapping's text pattern in the output text under
construction.
