I understand where you come from. For some context on why I wrote this parser back in 2004: http://wingolog.org/archives/2006/11/17/high-on-sodium-vapor I even had a gtk browser at one point with help: http://wingolog.org/pub/texinfo-browser.png I had a GTK app then with context-sensitive interactive help. So I needed to treat docs programmatically. > If you want to call it a "Guile docstring parser, whose language > happens to bear some resemblance to a subset of Texinfo", fine. It is intended to be a strict subset. To do otherwise we would have to make a new format, and that would be bad. Cheers, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
