Introduction
============

   As you have probably gathered by now, `librep' provides a dialect of
the Lisp programming language--a dialect originally inspired by Emacs
Lisp, but later adapted to include many features from various Scheme
implementations and Common Lisp. The language dialect aims to be
convenient for both extending applications and writing large
stand-alone programs.

   All programs written using only the information in this manual should
be compatible with future revisions of `librep'.

   This following sections explain some of the most important Lisp
concepts and the conventions I've used in this manual.

nil and t: Boolean values in Lisp
The Lisp Reader: Basic program structure
Notation: Special glyphs used
Descriptions: How functions and variables are documented
