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

15 A parse table is used by some routines that parse and unparse compound
16 strings. The table is an ordered list of parse mappings. A parsing
17 routine that uses a parse table scans the input text and searches the
18 parse mappings, in order, for one containing a pattern that matches the
19 input text. The matching parse mapping supplies a compound string to
20 be included in the compound string under construction.
21
22 An unparsing routine that uses a parse table searches the parse map‐
23 pings, in order, for one containing a compound string that matches the
24 input compound string. The unparsing routine can then include the
25 parse mapping's text pattern in the output text under construction.
