NAME
       XmParseTable -- Data type for a compound string parse table

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

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.
