.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmParseTable\fR is the data type for an array of parse mappings
(objects of type \fBXmParseMapping\fR)\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
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\&.
