       This package provides Tcl commands for the processing and reformatting
       of text in the "_C_h_a_n_g_e_L_o_g" format generated by eemmaaccss.

AAPPII
       ::::ddooccttoooollss::::cchhaannggeelloogg::::ssccaann _t_e_x_t
              The command takes the _t_e_x_t and parses it under the assumption
              that it contains a ChangeLog as generated by eemmaaccss. It returns a
              data structure describing the contents of this ChangeLog.

              This data structure is a list where each element describes one
              entry in the ChangeLog. Each element/entry is then a list of
              three elements describing the date of the entry, its author, and
              the comments made, in this order. The last item in each
              element/entry, the comments, is a list of sections. Each section
              is described by a list containing two elements, a list of file
              names, and a string containing the true comment associated with
              the files of the section.



                  {
                {
                    date
                    author
                    {
                   {
                       {file ...}
                       commenttext
                   }
                   ...
                    }
                }
                {...}
                  }


       ::::ddooccttoooollss::::cchhaannggeelloogg::::ffllaatttteenn _e_n_t_r_i_e_s
              This command converts a list of entries as generated by
              cchhaannggee::::ssccaann above into a simpler list of plain text blocks each
              containing all the information of a single entry.

       ::::ddooccttoooollss::::cchhaannggeelloogg::::ttooDDooccttoooollss _t_i_t_l_e _m_o_d_u_l_e _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _e_n_t_r_i_e_s
              This command converts the pre-parsed ChangeLog _e_n_t_r_i_e_s as
              generated by the command ::::ddooccttoooollss::::cchhaannggeelloogg::::ssccaann into a
              document in _d_o_c_t_o_o_l_s format and returns it as the result of the
              command.

              The other three arguments supply the information for the header
              of that document which is not available from the changelog
              itself.

       ::::ddooccttoooollss::::cchhaannggeelloogg::::mmeerrggee _e_n_t_r_i_e_s...
              Each argument of the command is assumed to be a pre-parsed
              Changelog as generated by the command
              ::::ddooccttoooollss::::cchhaannggeelloogg::::ssccaann. This command merges all of them
              into a single structure, and collapses multiple entries for the
              same date and author into a single entry. The new structure is
              returned as the result of the command.
