4.3 geneva

Geneva core package. Exports functions to programatically create
and inspect _Geneva documents_.

In Open Geneva a _document_ is represented as a _list_ of _document elements_. A _document element_ can be obtained using the element constructors {make-paragraph}, {make-listing}, {make-table}, {make-media} and {make-section}. In order to ensure integrity, it is recommended to use {make-document} to produce _documents_.

_Rich text_ is represeted as a _list_ of _text tokens_. A _text token_ may be a _string_ or an object obtained using the text token constructors {make-bold}, {make-italic}, {make-fixed-width} and {make-url}.

_Document elements_ and _text tokens_ can be inspected using the readers {content-type} and {content-values}.

_Documents_ and _document elements_ are printable and readable using the Common Lisp printer and reader.

*Exceptional Situations:*

All functions external to this _package_ validate their parameters and will signal an _error_ of _type_ {type-error} on mismatch.

5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *default-index-caption*

Package

geneva.utilities.

Special Variable: syntax

*Description:*

Readtable containing reader macros for markup literals. Defines {#B}, {#I}, {#F} and {#U} to be expanded to code generating Geneva markup at read-time using _make-bold_, _make-italic_, _make-fixed-width_ and _make-url_ respectively.

This readtable is registered as _geneva.macros:syntax_. In
order to use it invoke {named-readtable}’s {in-readtable} like so:

#code#
