DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into various forms.

API

       ::page::util::quote::unquote char
	      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'tcl char
	      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'tclstr char
	      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'tclcom char
	      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.
