1143 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1144 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1145 readers not to forget the difference.
1147 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>

2283 new-docstrings.texi: Automatic updates from improved libguile
2286 2001-11-04 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2288 * preface.texi: Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2289 (Manual Layout): Updated to reflect reorg.
2291 * guile.texi (MANUAL_EDITION): New variable, with value
2292 incremented from 1.0 to 1.1 to reflect the reorg described here.
2293 (Top): Use MANUAL_EDITION variable.
2295 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
2296 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
2298 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2299 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2300 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2301 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2302 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2303 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2304 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2305 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2306 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
2307 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
2308 appear together in the printed manual.
2310 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
2313 * appendices.texi: Removed.
2315 * debugging.texi (Debugger User Interface): New file, same as the
2316 material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
2317 Part II rather than an appendix.
2319 * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
2320 become a chapter in ...
2321 * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
2323 * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
2324 * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
2326 * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
2327 * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.
2329 2001-11-06 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>
2331 * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-19, SRFI-19 Constants, SRFI-19 Current
2332 time and clock resolution, SRFI-19 Time object and accessors,
2333 SRFI-19 Time comparison procedures, SRFI-19 Time arithmetic
2334 procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19
2335 Time/Date/Julian Day/Modified Julian Day converters, SRFI-19 Date
2336 to string/string to date converters): New nodes.
2337 (SRFI Support): Add "SRFI-19" to menu.

2345 * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
2346 and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
2347 main menu. It's like slib I think.)
2349 * minor updates to the slib installation notes.
2351 2001-10-05 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2353 * scheme-evaluation.texi (Fly Evaluation): Removed documentation

2355 noticing that they'd disappeared!)
2357 2001-10-05 Thien-Thi Nguyen <ttn@glug.org>
2359 * scheme-io.texi (Writing): Add entry for `display'.
2360 Include in R5RS Index. Thanks to Alex Schroeder for suggestion.
2362 2001-09-26 Martin Grabmueller <mgrabmue@cs.tu-berlin.de>
2364 * srfi-modules.texi (SRFI-13): Tyop fix.

2379 2001-08-30 Neil Jerram <neil@ossau.uklinux.net>
2381 * guile.texi (Top): Group all index nodes together so that

2383 Hanchrow for the report and fix.
2385 * scheme-data.texi (Random, String Syntax, String Modification,
2386 Regular Expressions), scheme-ideas.texi (Definition),
2387 scheme-modules.texi (Dynamic Linking and Compiled Code Modules),
2388 scm.texi (Transforming Scheme name to C name, Port
2389 Implementation): Various typo fixes and clarifications merged from

2403 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2404 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2405 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
