<tmdoc-title|Fundamental tree modification routines>
From an internal point of view, all modifications to the <TeXmacs> edit
tree are decomposed into atomic modifications of eight different types. In
this section, we describe the <scheme> interface to these fundamental
modification routines. Even though it is usually more convenient to use
higher level modification routines, as described in the <hlink|next
section|edit-modify.en.tm>, the fundamental tree modification routines may
occasionally be useful as well.
It should be emphasized that the fundamental tree modification routines are
<em|not> checked for their correctness. It is the responsability of the
user to verify that the operations are valid and that they lead to a
correct new edit tree. Although it is sometimes possible to leave the edit
tree in a temporarily incorrect or ``unsimplified'' state (for instance, by
allowing subtrees of the form <rigid|<scm|(concat "")>>), this practice is
not generally recommended, and may lead to severe bugs.

<scm|(tree-assign! <scm-arg|var> <scm-arg|new-value>)><explain-synopsis|tree
assignment>
<|explain>
On input, we have a <scheme> variable <scm-arg|var> of type
<verbatim|tree> and <scm-arg|new-value> of type <verbatim|content>. The
macro replaces the tree by <scm-arg|new-value> and updates <scm-arg|var>
accordingly. The new tree value of <scm-arg|var> is returned.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(tree-insert! <scm-arg|var> <scm-arg|pos>
<scm-arg|ins>)><explain-synopsis|insertion of new nodes or characters>
<|explain>
The first parameter <scm-arg|var> is a <scheme> variable of type
<verbatim|tree>. If <scm-arg|var> is a compound tree, then <scm-arg|ins>
should be a list <math|u<rsub|0>,\<ldots\>,u<rsub|l-1>> of new children
of type <verbatim|content>. In that case, the routine inserts
<math|u<rsub|0>,\<ldots\>,u<rsub|l-1>> into the children of
<scm-arg|var>, at position <scm-arg|pos> (see figure
<reference|insert-remove-fig>). If <scm-arg|var> is a string tree, then
<scm-arg|ins> should be of string content type, and the string
<scm-arg|ins> is inserted into <scm-arg|var> at position <scm-arg|pos>.
The variable <scm-arg|var> is updated with the result of the insertion
and the result is returned.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(tree-remove! <scm-arg|var> <scm-arg|pos>
<scm-arg|nr>)><explain-synopsis|removal of nodes or characters>
<|explain>
The first parameter <scm-arg|var> is a <scheme> variable of type
<verbatim|tree>. If <scm-arg|var> is a compound tree, then <scm-arg|nr>
of its children are removed, starting at position <scm-arg|pos> (see
figure <reference|insert-remove-fig>). If <scm-arg|var> is a string tree,
then <scm-arg|nr> characters are removed, starting at position
<scm-arg|pos>. The variable <scm-arg|var> is updated with the result of
the removal and the result is returned.

<scm|(tree-split! <scm-arg|var> <scm-arg|pos>
<scm-arg|at>)><explain-synopsis|split the children into two parts>
<|explain>
The first parameter <scm-arg|var> is a <scheme> variable of type
<verbatim|tree>. The macro is used to split the child <math|u> of
<scm-arg|var> at position <scm-arg|pos> into two parts. If <math|u> is a
compound tree, then the first part consists of the first <scm-arg|at>
children and the second part of the remaining ones. Both parts carry the
same label as <math|u> and <math|u> is replaced by the two parts inside
<scm-arg|var> (see figure <reference|split-join-fig>). If <math|u> is
string tree, then it is rather split into two strings at position
<scm-arg|at>. The variable <scm-arg|var> is updated with the result of
the split command and the result is returned.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(tree-join! <scm-arg|var> <scm-arg|pos>)><explain-synopsis|join two
adjacent nodes>
<|explain>
The first parameter <scm-arg|var> is a <scheme> variable of type
<verbatim|tree>. This macro is used to join the child <math|u> of
<scm-arg|var> at position <scm-arg|pos> with the child <math|v> at
position <scm-arg|pos>+1. If <math|u> and <math|v> are trees, then they
are removed from <scm-arg|var> and replaced by a single tree which has
the same label as <math|u> and whose children are those of <math|u>,
followed by the children of <math|v> (see figure
<reference|split-join-fig>). If <math|u> and <math|v> are strings, then
they are replaced by their concatenation. The variable <scm-arg|var> is
updated with the result of the join command and the result is returned.

<\remark>
Each of the macros <scm|tree-assign!>, <scm|tree-insert!>, <abbr|etc.>
has a functional counterpart <verbatim|<scm|tree-assign>>,
<verbatim|<scm|tree-insert>>, etc. The first parameter of these
counterparts can be an arbitrary ``l-<no-break>value'' and does not have
to be a scheme variable. However, in the case when a <scheme> variable is
passed as the first parameter, these variants do not necessarily update
its contents with the return value.
