-=======================
-Nimrod Standard Library
-=======================
-
-:Author: Andreas Rumpf
-:Version: |nimrodversion|
-
-Though the Nimrod Standard Library is still evolving, it is already quite
-usable. It is divided into basic libraries that contains modules that virtually
-every program will need and advanced libraries which are more heavy weight.
-Advanced libraries are in the ``lib/base`` directory.
-
-Basic libraries
-===============
-
-* `system <system.html>`_
-  Basic procs and operators that every program needs. It also provides IO
-  facilities for reading and writing text and binary files. It is imported
-  implicitly by the compiler. Do not import it directly. It relies on compiler
-  magic to work.
-
-* `strutils <strutils.html>`_
-  This module contains common string handling operations like converting a
-  string into uppercase, splitting a string into substrings, searching for
-  substrings, replacing substrings.
-
-* `os <os.html>`_
-  Basic operating system facilities like retrieving environment variables,
-  reading command line arguments, working with directories, running shell
-  commands, etc. This module is -- like any other basic library --
-  platform independant.
-
-* `math <math.html>`_
-  Mathematical operations like cosine, square root.
-
-* `complex <complex.html>`_
-  This module implements complex numbers and their mathematical operations.
-
-* `times <times.html>`_
-  The ``times`` module contains basic support for working with time.
-
-* `parseopt <parseopt.html>`_
-  The ``parseopt`` module implements a command line option parser. This 
-  supports long and short command options with optional values and command line
-  arguments.
-
-* `parsecfg <parsecfg.html>`_
-  The ``parsecfg`` module implements a high performance configuration file 
-  parser. The configuration file's syntax is similar to the Windows ``.ini`` 
-  format, but much more powerful, as it is not a line based parser. String 
-  literals, raw string literals and triple quote string literals are supported 
-  as in the Nimrod programming language.
-
-* `strtabs <strtabs.html>`_
-  The ``strtabs`` module implements an efficient hash table that is a mapping
-  from strings to strings. Supports a case-sensitive, case-insensitive and
-  style-insensitive mode. An efficient string substitution operator  ``%``
-  for the string table is also provided.
-
-* `hashes <hashes.html>`_
-  This module implements efficient computations of hash values for diverse
-  Nimrod types.
-
-* `lexbase <lexbase.html>`_
-  This is a low leve module that implements an extremely efficent buffering
-  scheme for lexers and parsers. This is used by the ``parsecfg`` module.
-
-
-Advanced libaries
-=================
-
-* `regexprs <regexprs.html>`_
-  This module contains procedures and operators for handling regular
-  expressions.
-
-* `dialogs <dialogs.html>`_
-  This module implements portable dialogs for Nimrod; the implementation 
-  builds on the GTK interface. On Windows, native dialogs are shown if
-  appropriate.
-  
-
-Wrappers
-========
-
-Note that the generated HTML for some of these wrappers is so huge, that it is
-not contained in the distribution. You can then find them on the website.
-
-* `posix <posix.html>`_
-  Contains a wrapper for the POSIX standard.
-* `windows <windows.html>`_
-  Contains a wrapper for the Win32 API.
-* `shellapi <shellapi.html>`_
-  Contains a wrapper for the ``shellapi.h`` header.
-* `shfolder <shfolder.html>`_
-  Contains a wrapper for the ``shfolder.h`` header.
-* `mmsystem <mmsystem.html>`_
-  Contains a wrapper for the ``mmsystem.h`` header.
-* `ole2 <ole2.html>`_
-  Contains GUIDs for OLE2 automation support.
-* `nb30 <nb30.html>`_
-  This module contains the definitions for portable NetBIOS 3.0 support. 
-* `cairo <cairo.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the cairo library.
-* `cairoft <cairoft.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the cairoft library.
-* `cairowin32 <cairowin32.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the cairowin32 library.
-* `cairoxlib <cairoxlib.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the cairoxlib library.
-* `atk <atk.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the atk library.
-* `gdk2 <gdk2.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the gdk2 library.
-* `gdk2pixbuf <gdk2pixbuf.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the gdk2pixbuf library.
-* `gdkglext <gdkglext.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the gdkglext library.
-* `glib2 <glib2.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the glib2 library.
-* `gtk2 <gtk2.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the gtk2 library.
-* `gtkglext <gtkglext.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the gtkglext library.
-* `gtkhtml <gtkhtml.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the gtkhtml library.
-* `libglade2 <libglade2.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the libglade2 library.
-* `pango <pango.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the pango library.
-* `pangoutils <pangoutils.html>`_
-  Wrapper for the pangoutils library.
