 The node Formatted Output has a typo -- statr instead of start
 in the following paragraph:
 
 `~'
   Start a new line, that is, output a newline character if not
   already at the statr of a line.

Fixed, thanks a lot!

guile.info: Formatted Output

2001-09-23 Thread Alex Schroeder 

There is a mixme in that node:

`~f'
  Output the corresponding ARG as a fixed format floating point
  number, such as `1.34'.

`~e'
  Output the corresponding ARG in exponential notation, such as
  `1.34E+0'.

`~g'
  %% FIXME::martin: There must be a difference.  Does anybody
  know?  Like `~f'.

In Emacs format does the following:

%f means print a number in decimal-point notation.
%g means print a number in exponential notation
  or decimal-point notation, whichever uses fewer characters.

Perhaps Guile does or should do the same.

Alex.
