[description]

This package implements the doctools table of contents import plugin
for the parsing of [vset NAME] markup.

[para]

This is an internal package of doctools, for use by the higher level
management packages handling tables of contents, especially [package \
doctools::toc::import], the import manager.

[para]

Using it from a regular interpreter is possible, however only with
contortions, and is not recommended.

The proper way to use this functionality is through the package
[package doctools::toc::import] and the import manager objects it
provides.


[section API]

The API provided by this package satisfies the specification of the
doctoc import plugin API version 2.

[list_begin definitions]

[call [cmd import] [arg string] [arg configuration]]

This command takes the [arg string] and parses it as [vset NAME]
markup encoding a table of contents, in the context of the specified
[arg configuration] (a dictionary). The result of the command is the
canonical serialization of that table of contents, in the form
specified in section [sectref {ToC serialization format}].
