     NAME
          XmParseTable - Data type for a compound string parse table

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION
          XmParseTable is the data type for an array of parse mappings
          (objects of type XmParseMapping).

          A parse table is used by some routines that parse and
          unparse compound strings.  The table is an ordered list of
          parse mappings.  A parsing routine that uses a parse table
          scans the input text and searches the parse mappings, in
          order, for one containing a pattern that matches the input
          text.  The matching parse mapping supplies a compound string
          to be included in the compound string under construction.

          An unparsing routine that uses a parse table searches the
          parse mappings, in order, for one containing a compound
          string that matches the input compound string.  The
          unparsing routine can then include the parse mapping's text
          pattern in the output text under construction.
