NAME
       XmString -- Data type for a compound string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

DESCRIPTION
       XmString  is the data type for a compound string.  Compound strings consist of a sequence of components, including, but not limited to, the
       following:

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_POP

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_DIRECTION

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_PUSH

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_CHARSET

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE_TEXT

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TEXT

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_END

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_BEGIN

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_END

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN

	  o  XmSTRING_COMPONENT_WIDECHAR_TEXT

       and also a rendition tags table, text, and text component.  When a compound string is displayed, the rendition tags and the  direction  are
       used to determine how to display the text.

       Calling	XtGetValues for a resource whose type is XmString yields a copy of the compound string resource value.	The application is respon-
       sible for using XmStringFree to free the memory allocated for the copy.

       Please see the XmStringComponentType reference page for more detail about compound string components, and for a description of the order in
       which the components should appear in a compound string.  Refer to the XmRenderTable reference page for a description of the algorithm that
       associates the rendition tags used for displaying a compound string text component with a rendition in a render table.
