Overview
========

These are the Perl Tablets, a lexicon style documentation for Perl 6
written in [Pandoc-Markdown](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/)
and optimized for hypertext formats.

They are available online at .

How to Help
===========

Beginner
--------

* 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.

Advanced
--------

* 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.

Formating Rules
===============

Anchor Names
------------

* 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.

Highlighting
------------

* 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 — (\&mdash\;)
