Revised7 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme, Large Edition (R7RS-Large)

This repository contains the sources for the R7RS-Large.

This document only contains information about how to compile the documents. For more information about the R7RS-Large process, visit the wiki. For more information about Scheme, the programming language, go to https://scheme.org , where you can browse implementations, try it in your browser, and join the community.

The R7RS-Large is written in SXML using a dialect of DocBook 5.

Organization

The text of the R7RS-Large is stored in Scheme source files in lib/r7rs-large-docbook. We do this because we use Scheme as a macro processor for SXML documents. Since the documents are in Scheme library files, they can be loaded and converted into other file formats without an explicit parsing step.

Building

To compile the XHTML version of a release, you must have an R7RS-Small implementation installed with SRFI 1, SRFI-69, and SRFI-128 support. These are all portably implementable, but are generally included by default so this repository does not ship them.

The scripts are tested in particular on Gauche.

Possible Build Outputs

You can compiled the fascicles for XML (DocBook 5 dialect) and XHTML.

Run make compiled/${NAME}-fascicle.${EXT}, where

• ${NAME} is one of macrological, procedural, or valued.
• ${EXT} is one of xml or xhtml.

All build targets have the following options:

• SCHEME: Scheme script executor.

The XHTML build targets have the following options:

• ASSETS_URI: specifies the CSS stylesheet.
