Not to be confused with [{expand}]

A macro and/or template processor written in Tcl for Tcl, by [William Duquette].
See http://www.wjduquette.com/expand/index.html for its homepage.

The central algorithm of the expand tool was repackaged as expander in Tcllib. See http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/expander.html

This is a useful tool for conversion of [tcl]-based documents into other formats. The range of applications include

   * Generation of website with uniform look & feel. See the homepage [http://www.wjduquette.com/] of the expand author, or [AK]'s [memchan] website at SourceForge [http://memchan.sourceforge.net] for examples of this.
   * Conversion of manpages in a tcl-based markup to HTML, nroff, TMML, etc. See [doctools].

   * Generation and setup of Makefiles for an extension based upon a template.

   * Provide a generic support to update a set of files depending on single definition file (tcl script).

All of this falls under the broad category of [Template and Macro processing].
