Guile Documentation ==================================================
The doc directory contains a few articles on specific topics and some
examples, including data-rep.texi which describes the internal
representation of data types in Guile. The example-smob directory
contains example source code for the "Defining New Types (Smobs)" chapter.
If you've never used Scheme before, then the Guile Tutorial
(guile-tut.info) is a good starting point. The Guile Reference Manual
(guile.info) is the primary documentation for Guile. The Goops object
system is documented separately (goops.info). A copy of the R5RS
Scheme specification is included too (r5rs.info).
The incomplete Guile reference manual is available at
Info format versions of this documentation are installed as part of
the normal build process. The texinfo sources are under the doc
directory, and other formats like Postscript, PDF, DVI or HTML can be
generated from them with Tex and Texinfo tools.

Neil Jerram is working on the new reference manual, which will be
distributed with guile-core. The new manual will be synchronized with
the docstrings in the sources. Until then, please be aware that the
docstrings are likely to be more up-to-date than the old reference
manual (use `(help)' or see libguile/guile-procedures.txt which is
generated by the build process).
The doc directory also includes an example-smob subdirectory which has
the example code from the "Defining New Types (Smobs)" chapter of the
reference manual.
