commentplaintext
Toc markup. The argument text is marked up as a comment standing outside of the actual text of the
document. Main use is in free-form text.
division_end
Toc structure. This command closes the division opened by the last division_begin command coming
before it, and not yet closed.
division_starttext ?symfile?
Toc structure. This command opens a division in the table of contents. Its counterpart is
division_end. Together they allow a user to give a table of contents additional structure.
The title of the new division is provided by the argument text.
If the symbolic filename symfile is present then the section title should link to the referenced
document, if links are supported by the output format.
includefilename
Templating. The contents of the named file are interpreted as text written in the doctoc markup
and processed in the place of the include command. The markup in the file has to be self-
contained. It is not possible for a markup command to cross the file boundaries.
itemfiletextdesc
Toc structure. This command adds an individual element to the table of contents. Each such element
refers to a document. The document is specified through the symbolic name file. The text argument
is used to label the reference, whereas the desc provides a short descriptive text of that
document.
The symbolic names are used to preserve the convertibility of this format to any output format.
The actual name of the file will be inserted by the chosen formatting engine when converting the
input. This will be based on a mapping from symbolic to actual names given to the engine.
lb Text. The command is replaced with a left bracket. Use in free-form text. Required to avoid
interpretation of a left bracket as the start of a markup command. Its usage is restricted to the
arguments of other markup commands.
rb Text. The command is replaced with a right bracket. Use in free-form text. Required to avoid
interpretation of a right bracket as the end of a markup command. Its usage is restricted to the
arguments of other commands.
toc_begintexttitle
