# This is the main index of functions in octave/octave-forge.
# It organizes functions by toolbox and by category within
# each toolbox. Individual directories may have their own
# INDEX file specifying their own toolboxes, or their own
# categories within the "extra" toolbox. In general if you
# are adding a function to a directory and it does not already
# have an INDEX file, then you should add it here. If you
# are adding a new directory, you should probably add a new
# INDEX file.
# An index file has the following format:
#
# toolbox >> Toolbox name
# Category Name
# fn fn fn
# fn fn fn
# Category Name
# fn
# Toolbox and category definitions are on the left, function
# lists are indented.
# If no toolbox is specified, then the categories will go into
# extra. Only use this if you are contributing a small number
# of specialized functions.
# Lines starting with # are comment lines.
# Some functions may be unavailable in octave or octave-forge.
# If they are not implemented they can be listed as usual
# and they will show up with a description of "not implemented".
# If there is a work around or if the function is available
# elsewhere, you can instead use:
# fn = workaround description
# This workaround description can use any html markup, but
# keep in mind that it is in a bold-italic environment. For
# the special case of:
# fn = use alternate expression
# the bold-italic is automatically suppressed. You will need
# to use even in references:
# fn = use fn
# Sometimes functions are only partially compatible, in which
# case you can list the non-compatible cases separately. To
# refer to another function in the package, use fn.
# E.g.,
# eig(A,B) = use qz
# Since sites may have many missing functions, you can define
# a macro rather than typing the same link over and again.
# $id = expansion
# defines the macro id. You can use $id anywhere in the
# description and it will be expanded. E.g.,
# $TSA = see SPC Tools
# arcov = $TSA armcv
# id is any string of letters, numbers and _.
