+@node VComponent Create
+@section Vcomponent Create
+
+Procedures for declarativly creating components (instead of the
+primitive procedural API).
+
+@defun vcomponent type [key: prop] ... children
+Creates a new vcomponent of @var{type}. Each kv-pair should contain a
+keyword @var{key}, and a value which is either a direct value, or the
+return value of @code{with-parameters} or
+@code{as-list}. @var{children} should be a list of other vcomponent's.
+@end defun
+
+@defun vcalendar
+@defunx vevent
+@defunx vtimezone
+@defunx standard
+@defunx daylight
+Calls @code{vcomponent}, with type set to the procedure name (but
+up-cased).
+@end defun
+
+@defun with-parameters [key: param] ... value
+Allows setting parameters for a property as created by @code{vcomponent}.
+
+@var{value} follows the same rules as in @code{vcomponent}. Multiple
+@var{key}, @var{value} pairs can be given, where each key must be a keyword.
+@end defun
+
+@defun as-list lst
+Allows setting list values when using @code{vcomponent}.
+
+Without this a list value would be stored as a single value, while
+with this a list of values is instead stored (as, for example, in EXDATE).
+
+A list of list types could be hard-coded, but even then this procedure
+is needed since custom types might need it.
+@end defun
