NAME
       doctoc_lang_syntax - doctoc language syntax

DESCRIPTION
       This  document  contains	 the formal specification of the syntax of the
       doctoc markup language, version 1.1 in Backus-Naur-Form. This  document
       is  intended  to be a reference, complementing the doctoc language com‐
       mand reference.	A beginner should read the much more informally	 writ‐
       ten  doctoc  language  introduction  first  before trying to understand
       either this document or the command reference.

FUNDAMENTALS
       In the broadest terms possible the doctoc markup language is like  SGML
       and  similar  languages.	 A  document written in this language consists
       primarily of markup commands,  with  text  embedded  into  it  at  some
       places.

       Each markup command is a just Tcl command surrounded by a matching pair
       of [ and ]. Which commands are available,  and  their  arguments,  i.e.
       syntax is specified in the doctoc language command reference.

       In this document we specify first the lexeme, and then the syntax, i.e.
       how we can mix text and markup commands with each other.

LEXICAL DEFINITIONS
       In the syntax rules listed in the next section

       [1]    <TEXT> stands for all text except markup commands.

       [2]    Any XXX stands for the markup command [xxx] including its	 argu‐
	      ments.  Each  markup  command  is	 a Tcl command surrounded by a
	      matching pair of [ and ]. Inside of these delimiters  the	 usual
	      rules  for  a  Tcl  command apply with regard to word quotation,
	      nested commands, continuation lines, etc.

       [3]    <WHITE> stands for all text consisting only of spaces, newlines,
	      tabulators and the comment markup command.

SYNTAX
       The  rules listed here specify only the syntax of doctoc documents. The
       lexical level of the language was covered in the previous section.

       Regarding the syntax of the (E)BNF itself

       [1]    The construct { X } stands for zero or more occurrences of X.

       [2]    The construct [ X ] stands for zero or one occurrence of X.

       The syntax:

       toc	 = defs
		   TOC_BEGIN
		   contents
		   TOC_END
		   { <WHITE> }

       defs	 = { INCLUDE | VSET | <WHITE> }
       contents	 = { defs entry } [ defs ]

       entry	 = ITEM | division

       division	 = DIVISION_START
		   contents
		   DIVISION_END
