3 * guile.texi: Replaced list of authors with "The Guile
4 Developers".
5
6 * preface.texi (Contributors to the Manual): New section.
7
8 * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Use an empty name
9 for the function call syntax definition. Otherwise, TeX complains
10 about unbalanced parenthesis.

14 * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Fill section with
15 function calling etc, and quote and quasiquote.
16
17 * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-9): Revise for detail and clarity. Don't
18 use ":foo" for example type name, since that depends on the keyword
19 reading option.

42 particular note iteration binds fresh locations, rather than values
43 "stored".
44
45 * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-4): Revise for clarity, give each function
46 explicitly rather than showing TAG so Emacs info-look can find them,
47 merge "SRFI-4 - Read Syntax" and "SRFI-4 - Procedures" into just one
48 node.

157 Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
158 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
159 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
160 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
161 readers not to forget the difference.
