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.
