+
+;;;; A docstring extractor for the sbcl manual.  Creates
+;;;; @include-ready documentation from the docstrings of exported
+;;;; symbols of specified packages.
+
+;;;; This software is part of the SBCL software system. SBCL is in the
+;;;; public domain and is provided with absolutely no warranty. See
+;;;; the COPYING file for more information.
+;;;;
+;;;; Written by Rudi Schlatte <rudi@constantly.at>, mangled
+;;;; by Nikodemus Siivola.
+
+;;;; TODO
+;;;; * Verbatim text
+;;;; * Quotations
+;;;; * Method documentation untested
+;;;; * Method sorting, somehow
+;;;; * Index for macros & constants?
+;;;; * This is getting complicated enough that tests would be good
+;;;; * Nesting (currently only nested itemizations work)
+;;;; * doc -> internal form -> texinfo (so that non-texinfo format are also
+;;;;   easily generated)
+
+;;;; FIXME: The description below is no longer complete. This
+;;;; should possibly be turned into a contrib with proper documentation.
+
+;;;; Formatting heuristics (tweaked to format SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE sanely):
+;;;;
+;;;; Formats SYMBOL as @code{symbol}, or @var{symbol} if symbol is in
+;;;; the argument list of the defun / defmacro.
+;;;;
+;;;; Lines starting with * or - that are followed by intented lines
+;;;; are marked up with @itemize.
+;;;;
+;;;; Lines containing only a SYMBOL that are followed by indented
+;;;; lines are marked up as @table @code, with the SYMBOL as the item.
