Description

The CoCoA-5 documentation for strings needs to be tidied up, and properly integrated.

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott over 10 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress
  • % Done changed from 0 to 40

I have already improved the page "Intro to Strings"; but there are several other pages which need to be merged into a single page (I think).

#2 Updated by Anna Maria Bigatti over 10 years ago

  • Subject changed from Doc for strings to Manual: Doc for strings

#3 Updated by Anna Maria Bigatti over 10 years ago

  • Target version set to CoCoA-5.1.0 Easter14

#4 Updated by John Abbott about 10 years ago

JAA suggests:
  • one page about string literals, concat and indexing
  • one page about "escape sequences" inside strings

Do we need any more?

NB currently ?string produces the man page for indent!
20140419 removed string from keywords of indent manual page

I'm undecided how best to organize the manual page(s) for strings.
Currently they're in a "funny" section of the manual.

Perhaps the best organization (in contrast to comment-4) would be:
  • a page about string literals and putting "special characters" into them
  • a page about operations on strings (should this include ASCII?)

What do you think?

Nobody thought anything for three days :-(

Anyway, I have revised the doc so it now has the structure proposed in the previous comment.

I like the current doc. Changing to feedback.

Anna is happy too; look OK in LaTeX/PDF.
