-@DOCSTRING(substruct)
+The simpliest way to process data in a structure is within a @code{for}
+loop or othe means of iterating over the fields. A similar effect can be
+achieved with the @code{structfun} function, where a user defined
+function is applied to eacg field of the structure.
+
+@DOCSTRING(structfun)
+
+Alternatively, to process the data in a strcuture, the structure might
+be converted to another type of container before being treated.
