* doc/guile.1: Added the current month and year, Guile version descriptive text, and the text GNU to the title. Updated the nroff formatting commands for the SYNOPSIS and OPTIONS sections to what 'man' prescribes. See 'man(1)', 'man(7)', and 'man-pages(7)'. Corrected grammar, spelling, and capitalization (for example, 'scheme' to 'Scheme'). Vertical white-space was non-standard (two lines between some sections, one space between others). Changed this to the standard one empty line before each section heading, and added dots (a single period on a line) before every section heading (.SH) so that maintainers will find the readability unchanged. Added white space to follow the 'groff' recommendation of starting every sentence on its own line, and breaking sentences at punctuation. Corrected an error in description of the info command. Added the missing option '--no-debug', and the short switches '-h' and '-v'. Changed the description of the environment variable GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH so that it references the Guile variable `%load-compiled-path' instead of the variable `%load-path'. Updated the copyright to include 2011. |

This directory contains documentation on the Guile core. -*-text-*- The documentation consists of the following manuals. - The Guile Tutorial (guile-tut.texi) contains a tutorial introduction to using Guile. - The Guile Reference Manual (guile.texi) contains (or is intended to contain) reference documentation on all aspects of Guile. - The Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (r5rs.texi). Please be aware that this is all very much work in progress (apart from the Revised^5 Report). Bug reports and contributions are welcome! The file `oldfmt.c' contains a function which can be used by application writers to support both old-style and new-style error format strings. The `sources' directory includes some stuff relevant to the Guile reference manual, and which may eventually be folded in to it. It's not immediately relevant, however, which is why it's not in this directory. The Revised^4 Report (r4rs.texi) is no longer in this distribution, as it is completely superseded by the Revised^5 Report. If you need to consult R4RS, it is still widely available, for example at http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/info/SchemeDocs/r4rs/.
