Editing Genera (operating system) (section)

== Documentation ==
Genera supports fully [[hyperlink]]ed online documentation. The documentation is read with the [[Symbolics Document Examiner|Document Examiner]], an early [[hypertext]] browser. The documentation is based on small reusable documentation records that can also be displayed in various contexts with the Editor and the Lisp Listener. The documentation is organized in books and sections. The books were also provided in printed versions with the same contents as the online documentation. The documentation [[database]] information is delivered with Genera and can be modified with incremental patches.

The documentation was created with a separate application that was not shipped with Genera: Symbolics ''Concordia''. Concordia provides an extension to the ''Zmacs'' editor for editing documentation records, a graphics editor and a page previewer.

The documentation provides user guides, installation guidelines and references of the various Lisp constructs and libraries.

The markup language is based on the [[Scribe (markup language)|Scribe]] markup language and also usable by the developer.

Genera supports printing to postscript printers, provides a printing queue and also a PostScript interpreter (written in Lisp).
