DESCRIPTION

This package implements the doctools table of contents export plugin for the generation of nroff markup.

This is an internal package of doctools, for use by the higher level management packages handling tables of contents, especially doctools::toc::export, the export manager.

Using it from a regular interpreter is possible, however only with contortions, and is not recommended. The proper way to use this functionality is through the package doctools::toc::export and the export manager objects it provides.

API

The API provided by this package satisfies the specification of the doctoc export plugin API version 2.

Configuration

The nroff export plugin recognizes the following configuration variables and changes its behaviour as they specify.

Note that this plugin ignores the standard configuration variables format, and map, and their values.

ToC serialization format

Here we specify the format used by the doctools v2 packages to serialize tables of contents as immutable values for transport, comparison, etc.

We distinguish between regular and canonical serializations. While a table of contents may have more than one regular serialization only exactly one of them will be canonical.
