-\subsubsection[Calling an external tactic]{Calling an external tactic\tacindex{external}
-\index{Ltac!external}}
-
-The tactic {\tt external} runs an executable outside the
-{\Coq} executable. The communication is done via an XML encoding of
-constructions. The syntax of the command is
-
-\begin{quote}
-{\tt external} "\textsl{command}" "\textsl{request}" \nelist{\tacarg}{}
-\end{quote}
-
-The string \textsl{command}, to be interpreted in the default
-execution path of the operating system, is the name of the external
-command. The string \textsl{request} is the name of a request to be
-sent to the external command. Finally the list of tactic arguments
-have to evaluate to terms. An XML tree of the following form is sent
-to the standard input of the external command.
-\medskip
-
-\begin{tabular}{l}
-\texttt{<REQUEST req="}\textsl{request}\texttt{">}\\
-the XML tree of the first argument\\
-{\ldots}\\
-the XML tree of the last argument\\
-\texttt{</REQUEST>}\\
-\end{tabular}
-\medskip
-
-Conversely, the external command must send on its standard output an
-XML tree of the following forms:
-
-\medskip
-\begin{tabular}{l}
-\texttt{<TERM>}\\
-the XML tree of a term\\
-\texttt{</TERM>}\\
-\end{tabular}
-\medskip
-
-\noindent or 
-
-\medskip
-\begin{tabular}{l}
-\texttt{<CALL uri="}\textsl{ltac\_qualified\_ident}\texttt{">}\\
-the XML tree of a first argument\\
-{\ldots}\\
-the XML tree of a last argument\\
-\texttt{</CALL>}\\
-\end{tabular}
-
-\medskip
-\noindent where \textsl{ltac\_qualified\_ident} is the name of a
-defined {\ltac} function and each subsequent XML tree is recursively a
-\texttt{CALL} or a \texttt{TERM} node.

-The Document Type Definition (DTD) for terms of the Calculus of
-Inductive Constructions is the one developed as part of the MoWGLI
-European project. It can be found in the file {\tt dev/doc/cic.dtd} of
-the {\Coq} source archive.
-
-An example of parser for this DTD, written in the {\ocaml} -
-Camlp4 language, can be found in the file {\tt parsing/g\_xml.ml4} of
-the {\Coq} source archive.
