@defmodulelang[scribble/manual]{The @racketmodname[scribble/manual]
language provides all of @racketmodname[scribble/base] plus many
additional functions that are specific to writing Racket
documentation.

The @racketmodname[scribble/manual] name can also be used as a library
with @racket[require], in which case it provides all of the same
bindings, but without setting the reader or setting the default
rendering format to the Racket manual format.}

With @hash-lang[], @racketmodname[scribble/manual] associates a
@racket[latex-defaults] @tech{style property} with its @racket[doc]
export to select the default Racket manual style for Latex
rendering---unless a style is supplied to @racket[title] that already
includes a @racket[latex-defaults] @tech{style property}.

                           [line-number-expr (or/c #f exact-nonnegative-integer?)])]{

Parses the code formed by the strings produced by the
@racket[str-expr]s as a Racket module (roughly) and produces a
@tech{block} that typesets the code inset via @racket[nested] with the
style @racket['code-inset].

The @racket[str-expr]s should normally start with @hash-lang[] to
determine the reader syntax for the module, but the resulting
``module'' need not expand or compile---except as needed by
@racket[expand-expr]. If @racket[expand-expr] is omitted or produces
false, then the input formed by @racket[str-expr] is read until an
end-of-file is encountered, otherwise a single form is read from the
input.

When @racket[keep-expr] produces a true value (the default), the first
line in the input (which is typically @hash-lang[]) is preserved in
the typeset output, otherwise the first line is dropped. The typeset
code is indented by the amount specified by @racket[indent-expr],
which defaults to @racket[2].

When @racket[expand-expr] produces @racket[#f] (which is the default),
identifiers in the typeset code are colored and linked based on
for-label bindings in the lexical environment of the syntax object
provided by @racket[context-expr]. The default @racket[context-expr]
has the same lexical context as the first @racket[str-expr].
When @racket[line-number-expr] is true, line number is enabled starting 
from @racket[line-number-expr].

When @racket[expand-expr] produces a procedure, it is used to
macro-expand the parsed program, and syntax coloring is based on the
parsed program.

For example,

@codeblock[#:keep-lang-line? #f]|<|{
  #lang scribble/manual
  @codeblock|{
    #lang scribble/manual
    @codeblock{
      #lang scribble/manual
      @title{Hello}
    }
  }|
}|>|

produces the typeset result

  @codeblock|{
    #lang scribble/manual
    @codeblock{
      #lang scribble/manual
      @title{Hello}
    }
  }|               

}

@defform[(racketblock datum ...)]{

Typesets the @racket[datum] sequence as a table of Racket code inset
inset via @racket[nested] with the style @racket['code-inset]. The
source locations of the @racket[datum]s determine the generated
layout. For example,

@racketblock[
(racketblock
 (define (loop x)
   (loop (not x))))
]

produces the output

@racketblock[
(define (loop x)
  (loop (not x)))
]

with the @racket[(loop (not x))] indented under @racket[define],
because that's the way it is idented the use of @racket[racketblock].

Furthermore, @racket[define] is typeset as a keyword (bold and black)
and as a hyperlink to @racket[define]'s definition in the reference
manual, because this document was built using a for-label binding of
@racket[define] (in the source) that matches a definition in the
reference manual. Similarly, @racket[not] is a hyperlink to the its
definition in the reference manual.

Use @racket[unsyntax] to escape back to an expression that produces an
@racket[element]. For example,

@let[([unsyntax #f])
(racketblock
 (racketblock
   (+ 1 (unsyntax (elem (racket x) (subscript "2"))))))
]

produces

@racketblock[
(+ 1 (unsyntax (elem (racket x) (subscript "2"))))
]

The @racket[unsyntax] form is regonized via
@racket[free-identifier=?], so if you want to typeset code that
includes @racket[unsyntax], you can simply hide the usual binding:

@RACKETBLOCK[
(racketblock
  (let ([(UNSYNTAX (racket unsyntax)) #f])
    (racketblock
      (syntax (+ 1 (unsyntax x))))))
]

Or use @racket[RACKETBLOCK], whose escape form is @racket[UNSYNTAX]
instead of @racket[unsyntax].

A few other escapes are recognized symbolically:

@itemize[

 @item{@racket[(#,(indexed-racket code:line) _datum ...)] typesets as the
       sequence of @racket[_datum]s (i.e., without the
       @racket[code:line] wrapper).}

 @item{@racket[(#,(indexed-racket code:comment) _datum)] typesets like
       @racket[_datum], but colored as a comment and prefixed with a
       semi-colon. A typical @racket[_datum] escapes from
       Racket-typesetting mode using @racket[unsyntax] and
       produces a paragraph using @racket[t]: 

       @verbatim[#:indent 2]|{
         (code:comment @#,t{this is a comment})
       }|

       (Note that @litchar|{@#,foo{...}}| reads as
       @RACKET[(unsyntax (foo "..."))].)
       }

 @item{@indexed-racket[code:blank] typesets as a blank space.}

 @item{@racket[(#,(indexed-racket code:hilite) _datum)] typesets like
       @racket[_datum], but with a background highlight.}

 @item{@racket[(#,(indexed-racket code:quote) _datum)] typesets like
       @racket[(@#,racketidfont{quote} _datum)], but without rendering the
       @racketidfont{quote} as @litchar{'}.}

 @item{@racketidfont{_}@racket[_id] typesets as @racket[id], but
       colored as a variable (like @racket[racketvarfont]); this
       escape applies only if @racketidfont{_}@racket[_id] has no
       for-label binding and is not specifically colored as a subform
       non-terminal via @racket[defform], a variable via
       @racket[defproc], etc.}

@subsection{Typesetting Comments}

@defmodulereader[scribble/comment-reader]

As a reader module, @racketmodname[scribble/comment-reader] reads a
single S-expression that contains @litchar{;}-based comment lines, and
it wraps the comments with @racket[code:comment] for use with forms
like @racket[racketblock]. More precisely,
@racketmodname[scribble/comment-reader] extends the current reader to
adjust the parsing of @litchar{;}.

For example, within a Scribble document that imports
@racketmodname[scribble/manual],

@verbatim[#:indent 2]|{
  @#reader scribble/comment-reader
   (racketblock
    ;; This is not a pipe
    (make-pipe)
   )
}|

generates

@#reader scribble/comment-reader
 (racketblock
  ;; This is not a pipe
  (make-pipe)
 )

The initial @litchar["@"] is needed above to shift into S-expression
mode, so that @racketmetafont{#reader} is recognized as a reader
declaration instead of literal text. Also, the example uses
@racket[(racketblock ....)]  instead of
@racketmetafont["@"]@racket[racketblock]@racketmetafont["["]@racket[....]@racketmetafont["]"]
because the @"@"-reader would drop comments within the
@racket[racketblock] before giving
@racketmodname[scribble/comment-reader] a chance to convert them.

Produces a sequence of flow elements (encaptured in a @racket[splice])
to start the documentation for a module that can be @racket[require]d
using the path @racket[id]. The @tech{decode}d @racket[pre-flow]s
introduce the module, but need not include all of the module content.

Besides generating text, this form expands to a use of
@racket[declare-exporting] with @racket[id]; the
@racket[#:use-sources] clause, if provided, is propagated to
@racket[declare-exporting]. Consequently, @racket[defmodule] should be
used at most once in a section, though it can be shadowed with
@racket[defmodule]s in sub-sections.

If a @racket[#:require-form] clause is provided, the given expression
produces an element to use instead of @racket[(racket require)] for
the declaration of the module. This is useful to suggest a different
way of accessing the module instead of through @racket[require].

Hyperlinks created by @racket[racketmodname] are associated with the

Associates the @racket[mod-path]s to all bindings defined within the
enclosing section, except as overridden by other
@racket[declare-exporting] declarations in nested sub-sections.  The
list of @racket[mod-path]s is shown, for example, when the user hovers
the mouse over one of the bindings defined within the section.

More significantly, the first @racket[mod-path] plus the
@racket[#:use-sources] @racket[mod-path]s determine the binding that
is documented by each @racket[defform], @racket[defproc], or similar
form within the section that contains the @racket[declare-exporting]
declaration:

@itemize[

 @item{If no @racket[#:use-sources] clause is supplied, then the
       documentation applies to the given name as exported by the first
       @racket[mod-path].}

 @item{If @racket[#:use-sources] @racket[mod-path]s are supplied, then
       they are tried in order. The first one to provide an export
       with the same symbolic name and
       @racket[free-label-identifier=?] to the given name is used as
       the documented binding. This binding is assumed to be the same
       as the identifier as exported by the first @racket[mod-path] in
       the @racket[declare-exporting] declaration.}

]

The initial @racket[mod-path]s sequence can be empty if
@racket[mod-path]s are given with @racket[#:use-sources]. In that
case, the rendered documentation never reports an exporting module for
identifiers that are documented within the section, but the
@racket[mod-path]s in @racket[#:use-sources] provide a binding context
for connecting (via hyperlinks) definitions and uses of identifiers.

The @racket[declare-exporting] form should be used no more than once
per section, since the declaration applies to the entire section,
although overriding @racket[declare-exporting] forms can appear in
sub-sections.}

Produces a sequence of flow elements (encapsulated in a
@racket[splice]) to document a procedure named @racket[id]. Nesting
@racket[prototype]s corresponds to a curried function, as in
@racket[define]. The @racket[id] is indexed, and it also registered so
that @racket[racket]-typeset uses of the identifier (with the same
for-label binding) are hyperlinked to this documentation.

A @racket[defmodule] or @racket[declare-exporting] form (or one of the
variants) in an enclosing section determines the @racket[id] binding
that is being defined. The @racket[id] should also have a for-label
binding (as introduced by @racket[(require (for-label ....))]) that
matches the definition binding; otherwise, the defined @racket[id]
will not typeset correctly within the definition.

Each @racket[arg-spec] must have one of the following forms:

@specsubform[(arg-id contract-expr-datum)]{
       An argument whose contract is specified by
       @racket[contract-expr-datum] which is typeset via
       @racket[racketblock0].}

@specsubform[(arg-id contract-expr-datum default-expr)]{

       with a default value must be grouped together, but they can be
       in the middle of required arguments.}

@specsubform[(keyword arg-id contract-expr-datum)]{

@specsubform[(keyword arg-id contract-expr-datum default-expr)]{

@specsubform[@#,lit-ellipses]{Any number of the preceding argument.  This
       form is normally used at the end, but keyword-based arguments

       @racket[append] for a use of @lit-ellipses before the last
       argument.}

@specsubform[@#,lit-ellipses+]{One or more of the preceding argument
       (normally at the end, like @lit-ellipses).}

The @racket[result-contract-expr-datum] is typeset via
@racket[racketblock0], and it represents a contract on the procedure's
result.

The @tech{decode}d @racket[pre-flow] documents the procedure. In this
description, references to @svar[arg-id]s using @racket[racket],
@racket[racketblock], @|etc| are typeset as procedure arguments.

The typesetting of all information before the @racket[pre-flow]s
ignores the source layout, except that the local formatting is

When an @racket[id] has multiple calling cases, they must be defined
with a single @racket[defproc*], so that a single definition point

Produces a sequence of flow elements (encapsulated in a
@racket[splice]) to document a syntatic form named by @racket[id]
whose syntax is described by @racket[form-datum]. If no @racket[#:id] is used
to specify @racket[id], then @racket[form-datum] must have the form
@racket[(id . _datum)].

The @racket[id] is indexed, and it is also registered so that
@racket[racket]-typeset uses of the identifier (with the same
for-label binding) are hyperlinked to this documentation.

The @racket[defmodule] or @racket[declare-exporting] requirements, as
well as the binding requirements for @racket[id], are the same as for
@racket[defproc].

The @tech{decode}d @racket[pre-flow] documents the form. In this
description, a reference to any identifier in @racket[form-datum] via
@racket[racket], @racket[racketblock], @|etc| is typeset as a sub-form
non-terminal. If @racket[#:literals] clause is provided, however,
instances of the @racket[literal-id]s are typeset normally (i.e., as
determined by the enclosing context).

If a @racket[#:contracts] clause is provided, each
@racket[subform-datum] (typically an identifier that serves as a
meta-variable in @racket[form-datum]) is shown as producing a value
that must satisfy the contract described by @racket[contract-expr-datum].

The typesetting of @racket[form-datum], @racket[subform-datum], and
@racket[contract-expr-datum] preserves the source layout, like
@racket[racketblock].}

The @racket[content->string] result of the @tech{decode}d

Produces an element for the @tech{decode}d @racket[pre-content], and

arguments support cross-document and section-specific references, like
in @racket[secref].

With the default style files, the hyperlink created by @racket[tech]
is somewhat quieter than most hyperlinks: the underline in HTML output
is gray, instead of blue, and the term and underline turn blue only
when the mouse is moved over the term.

In some cases, combining both natural-language uses of a term and
proper linking can require some creativity, even with the
normalization performed on the term. For example, if ``bind'' is
defined, but a sentence uses the term ``binding,'' the latter can be
linked to the former using @racketfont["@tech{bind}ing"].}

@racket[idefterm], but plural: adds an ``s'' on the end of the content
for the index entry. Consider using @racket[deftech], instead.}

@defproc[(indexed-file [pre-content pre-content?] ...) element?]{A
combination of @racket[file] and @racket[as-index], but where the sort
key for the index iterm does not include quotes.}

                    [#:url url (or/c #f pre-content?) #f])
         bib-entry?]{

Creates a bibliography entry. The @racket[key] is used to refer to the
entry via @racket[cite]. The other arguments are used as elements in
the entry:

@itemize[

 @item{@racket[title] is the title of the cited work. It will be
       surrounded by quotes in typeset form if @racket[is-book?] is
       @racket[#f], otherwise it is typeset via @racket[italic].}

 @item{@racket[author] lists the authors. Use names in their usual
       order (as opposed to ``last, first''), and separate multiple
       names with commas using ``and'' before the last name (where
       there are multiple names). The @racket[author] is typeset in
       the bibliography as given, or it is omitted if given as
       @racket[#f].}

 @item{@racket[location] names the publication venue, such as a
       conference name or a journal with volume, number, and
       pages. The @racket[location] is typeset in the bibliography as
       given, or it is omitted if given as @racket[#f].}

 @item{@racket[date] is a date, usually just a year (as a string). It
       is typeset in the bibliography as given, or it is omitted if
       given as @racket[#f].}

 @item{@racket[url] is an optional URL. It is typeset in the
       bibliography using @racket[tt] and hyperlinked, or it is
       omitted if given as @racket[#f].}

]}


@defproc[(bib-entry? [v any/c]) boolean?]{

Returns @racket[#t] if @racket[v] is a bibliography entry created by
@racket[bib-entry], @racket[#f] otherwise.}


@; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
@section{Miscellaneous}

@defproc[(t [pre-content pre-content?] ...) paragraph?]{Wraps the
@tech{decode}d @racket[pre-content] as a paragraph.}

@defthing[etc element?]{Like @racket["etc."], but with an
abbreviation-ending period for use in the middle of a sentence.}

@defthing[PLaneT element?]{@racket["PLaneT"] (to help make sure you get
the letters in the right case).}

@defproc[(hash-lang) element?]{Returns an element for @hash-lang[]
that is hyperlinked to an explanation.}

@defthing[void-const element?]{Returns an element for @|void-const|.}

@defthing[undefined-const element?]{Returns an element for @|undefined-const|.}

@defproc[(commandline [pre-content pre-content?] ...) paragraph?]{Produces
an inset command-line example (e.g., in typewriter font).}

@defproc[(centerline [pre-flow pre-flow?] ...) nested-flow?]{

An alias for @racket[centered] for backward compatibility.}

@defproc[(math [pre-content any/c] ...) element?]{The @tech{decode}d
@racket[pre-content] is further transformed:

 @itemize[

  @item{Any immediate @racket['rsquo] is converted to @racket['prime].}

  @item{Parentheses and sequences of decimal digits in immediate
        strings are left as-is, but any other immediate string is
        italicized.}

  @item{When @litchar{_} appears before a non-empty sequence of numbers
        and letters, the sequence is typeset as a subscript.}

  @item{When @litchar{^} appears before a non-empty sequence of numbers
        and letters, the sequence is typeset as a superscript.}

 ]}

@defproc[(filebox [filename (or/c string? element?)] [pre-flow pre-flow?] ...)
         block?]{

Typesets the @racket[pre-flow]s as the content of
@racket[filename]. For example, the content may be inset on the page
with @racket[filename] above it. If @racket[filename] is a string, it
is passed to @racket{filepath} to obtain an @racket[element].}

@section[#:tag "index-entries"]{Index-Entry Descriptions}

@defmodule[scribble/manual-struct]{The
@racketmodname[scribble/manual-struct] library provides types used to
describe index entries created by @racketmodname[scribble/manual]
functions. These structure types are provided separate from
@racketmodname[scribble/manual] so that
@racketmodname[scribble/manual] need not be loaded when deserializing
cross-reference information that was generated by a previously
rendered document.}

@defstruct[module-path-index-desc ()]{

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to a module definition via
@racket[defmodule] and company.}

@defstruct[exported-index-desc ([name symbol?]
                               [from-libs (listof module-path?)])]{

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of an
exported binding. The @racket[name] field and @racket[from-libs] list
correspond to the documented name of the binding and the primary
modules that export the documented name (but this list is not
exhaustive, because new modules can re-export the binding).}

@defstruct[(form-index-desc exported-index-desc) ()]{

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a
syntactic form via @racket[defform] and company.}

@defstruct[(procedure-index-desc exported-index-desc) ()]{

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a
procedure binding via @racket[defproc] and company.}

                                                    [class-tag tag?])]{

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of an
method via @racket[defmethod] and company. The @racket[_name] field
from @racket[exported-index-desc] names the class or interface that
contains the method. The @racket[method-name] field names the method.
The @racket[class-tag] field provides a pointer to the start of the
documentation for the method's class or interface.}
