<tmdoc-title|Explanations of macros, environment variables, and so on>
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main environment which is used for explanations of macros, environment
|
||
|
variables, <scheme> functions, <abbr|etc.> is inserted using the
|
||
|
<subsubmenu|Manual|Explain|Explanatory item> entry of the
|
||
|
<menu|Manual|Explain> and <icon|tm_explain.xpm> menus. The environment
|
||
|
comes with two arguments: the first argument consists of the concept or
|
||
|
concepts to be explained, and the second one contains the actual
|
||
|
explanation. A typical example would be the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<\explain>
|
||
|
<explain-macro|demo-tag|body>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<explain-macro|demo-tag|extras|body><explain-synopsis|short and long
|
||
|
versions of a demo tag>
|
||
|
<|explain>
|
||
|
The <markup|demo-tag> is used for demonstration purposes and decorates
|
||
|
the <src-arg|body><compound|src-var|> argument. An optional argument
|
||
|
<src-arg|extras> can be given with details on the way to decorate the
|
||
|
<src-arg|body>.
|
||
|
</explain>
|
||
|
|
||
|
In this example, we used <menu|Manual|Explain|TeXmacs macros> twice in
|
||
|
order to insert the macros to be described. We also used
|
||
|
<menu|Manual|Explain|Synopsis> in order to give a short description of the
|
||
|
tags (in grey). In a similar way, one may use
|
||
|
<menu|Manual|Explain|Environment variable> in order to describe an
|
||
|
environment variable. Another example is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
<\explain>
|
||
|
<scm|(foo-bar <scm-arg|K> <scm-arg|x>)>
|
||
|
<|explain>
|
||
|
The function <scm|foo-bar> computes the foo-bar transform of the operator
|
||
|
<scm|<scm-arg|K>> and applies it to <scm|<scm-arg|x>>.
|
||
|
</explain>
|
||
|
|
||
|
In this example, we notice that all <scheme> code was encapsulated into
|
||
|
<markup|scm> tags (see <menu|Insert|Program|Inline code|Scheme>) and
|
||
|
arguments were tagged using <markup|scm-arg>.
