# This package is a plugin for the doctools::idx v2 system.  It takes
# the list serialization of a keyword index and produces text in JSON
# format.

## Requisites

# @mdgen NODEP: doctools::idx::export::plugin

package require Tcl 8.4
package require doctools::idx::export::plugin ; # Presence of this
						# pseudo package
						# indicates execution
						# inside of a properly
						# initialized plugin
						# interpreter.
package require doctools::idx::structure      ; # Verification that
						# the input is proper.

## API.

proc export {serial configuration} {

    # Phase I. Check that we got a canonical index serialization. That
    #          makes the unpacking easier, as we can mix it with the
    #          generation of the output, knowing that everything is
    #          already sorted as it should be.

    # Configuration ...
    # * Standard entries
    #   - user   = person running the application doing the formatting
    #   - format = name of this format
    #   - file   = name of the file the index came from. Optional.
    #   - map    = maps symbolic references to actual file path. Optional.
    # * json/format specific entries
    #   - indented = boolean. objects indented per the index structure.
    #   - aligned  = boolean. object keys tabular aligned vertically.
    #
    # Notes
    # * This format ignores 'map' even if set, as the written json
    #   contains the symbolic references and only them.
    # * aligned  => indented

    # Combinations of the format specific entries
    # N I A |

    # 1 0 1 | Tabular aligned references
    # 1 1 1 | Indented + Tabular aligned references
