Description

I think a chapter on Lisp documentation would be good to have.

Thing like:

  • docstrings
  • how to get documentation of lisp stuff.
  • manual generation (declt, etc).
  • api documentation generation (ala javadocs)
  • at least mention some of the literate programming options

Research direction

Review the existing Common Lisp Cookbook chapter structure before defining the scope of a documentation chapter. Cover the listed areas—docstrings, retrieving Lisp documentation, manual and API generation, and literate programming—and consider the chapter complete when each area has useful guidance and relevant tools are identified.
