These are the Perl Tablets, a lexicon style documentation for Perl 6 written in Pandoc-Markdown and optimized for hypertext formats.
They are available online at http://tablets.perl6.org.
-
Fix typos and spelling by editing directly on github with the editor widget.
-
Add entries to FAQ (Appendix F) and glossary (Appendix G).
-
Just start reading and report issues if you're not sure.
-
Please pore over Appendix B taking note of the various links to the main Index (Appendix A). When you see a Perl 6 term without a link, find its corresponding anchor in the Index, then (in Appendix B) create a link to it.
-
Several items in FAQ and the glossary (works mostly without P6 knowledge) are still unexplained.
-
The Tablet 1: History needs a lot of help, especially information from people who were involved in the subprojects.
-
Running the report.pl will you give you hints about current things to do.
- Index A has following rules:
- Anchors are case sensitive, if the term is "BEGIN", the anchor is also "BEGIN".
- Parts of the anchor name are divided by a minus ("-").
- None alphanumeric chars are descibed as lowercase name.
- But use for that only one word, "=" is "equal" not "equal sign".
- "==" is equal-equal, "===" is "equal-equal-equal"
- A secondary anchor can dexribe the name of an operator.
- Index G has following rules:
- Anchor uses always the abbreviation, acronym or short form.
- Acronyms are uppercase rest is always lower case.
- Perl 6 builtins (links to A) are bold (**...**)
- terms (links to G) and Perl 5 builtins are italic (*...*)
- code snipptes are in (`...`)
- markdown for formating linked text please inside the square brackets
- between item name, its explanation and additional infos is an — (—)
