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 processor (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 character 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 problems 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.
