+(chapter :title "Standard Markups" [
+
+This chapter describes the forms composing Skribe texts. In XML/HTML
+these forms are called ,(emph "markups"). In LaTeX they are called
+,(emph "macros"). In Skribe these forms are called ,(emph
+"functions"). In this manual, we will say that we ,(emph "call a
+function") when a function is used in a form. The values used in a
+function call are named the ,(emph "actual parameters") of the
+function or ,(emph "parameters") in short. When calling a function
+with parameters we say that we are ,(emph "passing") arguments to the
+function.
+
+,(p [ In this documentation function names are typesetted in bold
+face. We call a ,(emph "keyword argument"), an argument whose
+identifier starts with the ,(tt ":") character. Arguments whose
+identifier does not start with this character are called ,(emph "plain
+arguments") or ,(emph "arguments") in short. An ,(emph "optional
+argument") is represented by a list, starting with the character ,(q
+(char 91)) and ending with the character ,(q (char 93)), whose first
+element is a keyword argument and the optional second (,(code "#f")
+when not specified) element is the default value used if the optional
+argument value is not provided on a function call. Arguments that are
+not optional are said ,(emph "mandatory"). If a plain argument is
+preceeded with a ,(tt ".") character, this argument may be used to
+accumulate several values. There are two ways to pass actual arguments
+to a function.])
+
+,(itemize (item [for keyword arguments: the value of the parameter
+must be preceeded by the name of the argument.])
+ (item [for plain arguments: a value is provided.]))
+
+Example: Let us consider the function ,(tt "section") defined as follows:
+,(prgm "(section :title [:number #t] [:toc #t] . body)")
+
+,(p [
+The argument ,(param :title) is a mandatory keyword argument.
+The keyword arguments ,(param :number) and ,(param :toc) are
+optional. The plain argument ,(param 'body) is preceeded with a
+,(tt ".") character so it may receive several values. All the following
+calls are legal ,(tt "section") calls:])
