10The guile-doc distribution now supports building HTML versions of the
11Guile tutorial and reference manual, in addition to the standard Info
12documentation. To enable this, include the `--enable-html' option
13when you run `./configure':
14
15 ./configure --enable-html

17HTML documentation is installed in $(prefix)/html/guile-$(VERSION).

20Changes since Guile 1.0 (Sun 5 Jan 1997):
21
22* The current documentation approach, recommended by Jim Blandy, is to
23have: (*) a tutorial with the pedagogical style of guile-user, and a
24non-dry reference manual in the style of the most excellent GNU libc
25reference manual: the reference manual should be complete, but at the
26same time it should have an introductory screen for each major topic,
27which can be referenced if the user goes "up" a level in the info
28documentation.
