We current mark up the sources for primitives, and use the guile docstrings for our scheme procedures. We still don't extract the docstrings from the scheme sources for the manual, but our Emacs browsing interface uses `procedure-documentation' to let you read them. (We're anticipating improvement in the way guile handles docstrings -- they're all loaded into memory at load time now, right?). See http://huis-clos.mit.edu/scwm/ for the distribution, and you can look at the documentation in the .c files for details. Both the perl extractor and a new one by Harvey Stein written in guile are included. Greg
