Purpose: describe what Tcl considers a list element - i.e. the basic component of a list. ---- Given that [Tcl] considers everything is a string, then a list element is, at its core, just a string. This string can either be 0 length, 1 or more characters, and can be formatted in such a way that the element is also another list. ---- See also [list], [lappend], [lindex], [linsert], [llength], [lrange], [lreplace], [lsearch], [lsort], [concat], [split], [foreach], [array] . [caspian] recommends that you also see: [join] and [lset] ---- [Tcl syntax help] [Category Glossary]
