+## Bool.parse
+
+```tomo
+Bool.parse : func(text: Text -> Bool?)
+```
+
+Converts a string representation of a boolean value into a boolean. Acceptable boolean values are case-insensitive variations of `yes`/`no`, `y`/`n`, `true`/`false`, `on`/`off`.
+
+Argument | Type | Description | Default
+---------|------|-------------|---------
+text | `Text` | The string containing the boolean value.  | 
+
+**Return:** `yes` if the string matches a recognized truthy boolean value; otherwise return `no`.
+
+
+**Example:**
+```tomo
+>> Bool.parse("yes")
+= yes : Bool?
+>> Bool.parse("no")
+= no : Bool?
+>> Bool.parse("???")
+= none : Bool?
+
+```
