Create links from glossary to dictionaries
11:34 < beach> The Common Lisp HyperSpec is not great with links and such.
11:35 < beach> Frequently, the link goes to the glossary, and then there is no further link
to a chapter.
11:35 < phoe> To a chapter? What do you mean?
11:35 < beach> I would have to find an example.
11:36 < phoe> AFAIK you can always push the "up" button to land in the proper dictionary,
and the "up" button to land in the respective chapter.
11:36 < beach> Not from the glossary.
11:36 < beach> And that's the problem.
11:37 < beach> clhs string
11:37 < specbot> http://www.lispworks.com/reference/HyperSpec/Body/a_string.htm
11:37 < beach> Take this one:
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_string.htm
11:38 < beach> Now click on the link so "sequence".
11:38 < beach> You end up in the glossary.
11:38 < phoe> "coerce can be used to convert a sequence of characters to a string."
11:38 < beach> And there is no way to get from the glossary to the sequence dictionary
or the sequence chapter.
This requires substantial work; I will be working on this once the standard dictionaries are parsed, possibly when importing the glossary.
