\fBXmString\fR
is the data type for a compound string\&.
Compound strings consist of a sequence of components, including, but
not limited to, the following:
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_POP\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_DIRECTION\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_PUSH\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_CHARSET\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_FONTLIST_ELEMENT_TAG\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_LOCALE_TEXT\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAG\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_TEXT\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_END\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_BEGIN\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_END\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN\fP
.IP "   \(bu" 6
\fBXmSTRING_COMPONENT_WIDECHAR_TEXT\fP
.PP
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\&.
.PP
Calling \fBXtGetValues\fP for a resource whose type is \fBXmString\fR yields a
copy of the compound string resource value\&.
The application is responsible for using \fBXmStringFree\fP to free the
memory allocated for the copy\&.
.PP
Please see the \fBXmStringComponentType\fR 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 \fBXmRenderTable\fR 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\&.
