Subject: [Lisp] Lisp meeting, April 8th 7:00 at Trinity
Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, April 8th from 7:00
to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church.
Rahul Jain Presents: DefDoc, A TEX-inspired, Lisp-based document
processing system
Lisp was originally designed for symbolic processing. Syntax
manipulation is the most commonly used aspect of Lisp's symbolic
processing capabilities currently. The defmacro form provided by
Common Lisp allows one to define new language forms which have full
access to the symbolic information of the code within their
bodies. Within the macro definiton, the entire facilities of the
Common Lisp language may be used, including any other functions or
macros you have defined. This model is extremely powerful, and many
advanced techniques for using it are explained in Paul Graham's book,
"On Lisp"
