  -- Bertrand Meyer

The documentation consists of several documents:

- | `Tutorial (part I) <tut1.html>`_

- | `Tutorial (part II) <tut2.html>`_
  | The Nimrod tutorial part two deals with the advanced language constructs.

- | `Library documentation <lib.html>`_
  | This document describes Nimrod's standard library.

- | `User guide <nimrodc.html>`_
  | The user guide lists command line arguments, special features of the
    compiler, etc.

- | `Tools documentation <tools.html>`_
  | Description of some tools that come with the standard distribution.

- | `Manual <manual.html>`_
  | The Nimrod manual is a draft that will evolve into a proper specification.

  | The Nimrod compiler supports source code filters as a simple yet powerful
    builtin templating system.

- | `Internal documentation <intern.html>`_

    this if you want to hack the compiler.

- | `Index <theindex.html>`_
