761 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
762 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind

814 node, now "Formatting Calendar Time".
815

1440
1441 * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
1442 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
1443 descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1444 up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1445 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1446 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is

1915
1916 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1917 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1918 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1919 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1920 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1921 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1922 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1923 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1924 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1925 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1926 appear together in the printed manual.
