::page::util::quote::unquotechar
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'tclchar
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'tclstrchar
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'tclcomchar
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.
