- | Manpages | macro list | pod docs | report problem bugs |
- The first three links are to pages that give some information about writing problems: "Manpages" is an (incomplete) list of the most commonly used macros with a description of their parameters and how to use them; a complete list of macros is provided by the "macro list"; and details for many macros can be obtained using the "pod docs" link which links to documentation embedded in the macro files themselves. If you find an error in a library problem please use the "Report problem bugs" link to notify us so that we can fix it. You will need to register with an email address the first time you use bugzilla, but after that you will not.
