64 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
65 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
66
67 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
68 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
69 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
70 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
71 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
72 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
73 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
74 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
75 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
76 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
77 appear together in the printed manual.

89 become a chapter in ...

127
128 * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.
