'''text processing''' builds on [string processing], interpreting strings as a
strcture, usually that has some sort of in-value signaling, i.e., [markup
language%|%markup] or '''[data format%|%format]'''.



** Description **

The difference between [string processing] and '''text processing''' can be
subtle.  Forexample, the [Longest common substring] algorithm might be
considered string processing, whereas [Longest common subsequence: folklore
algorithm] could be considered text processing because it implies some greater
structure encoded within the string.



** Tcl Tools **

   [FindProcs utility]:   Jump to a [proc%|%procedure].

   [FindWords utility]:   Jump to another occurence of a word.

   [Longest common subsequence: folklore algorithm]:   the algorithm behind [diff in Tcl]

   [similarity]:   

   [Tcl] itself, of course!:   

   [text]:   The [Tk] widget.

   [Tcl Editors]:   Editors recommended for Tcl scripts.

   [tabulate], by [dbohdan]:   Pretty-print plain-text tabular data.
