A few of the @xref references to external manuals in the documentation are using an old 4-argument form that produces an undefined reference in the printed manual. The following patch makes them consistent with the 5-argument @xrefs used elsewhere in the manual. -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd, Publishing Free Software Manuals --- http://www.network-theory.co.uk/ >From 6ca0417830dc5a98699a15808591dc1f2a90dfac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Gough <bjg@gnu.org> Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:34:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] make the use of the 5-argument @xref command consistent when referring to other manuals.

@section Guile's Implementation of Scheme
|
|
|
|
Guile's core language is Scheme, which is specified and described in the
|
|
series of reports known as @dfn{RnRS}. @dfn{RnRS} is shorthand for the
|
|
@iftex
|
|
@dfn{Revised$^n$ Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme}.
|
|
@end iftex
|
|
@ifnottex
|
|
@dfn{Revised^n Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme}.
|
|
@end ifnottex
|
|
The current latest revision of RnRS is version 5 (@pxref{Top,
|
|
,Introduction,r5rs,R5RS}), and Guile 1.4 is fully compliant with the
|
|
Scheme specification in this revision.
|
|
|
|
But Guile, like most Scheme implementations, also goes beyond R5RS in
|
|
many ways, because R5RS does not give specifications (or even
|
|
recommendations) regarding many issues that are important in practical
|
|
programming. Some of the areas where Guile extends R5RS are:
