# Documents

### docs.ss

The teachpack `docs.ss` provides three operations:
- `atom? : SchemeValue -> bool`
  which determines whether or not a Scheme value is a number, a symbol, or a string;
  Note: This notion of atom is different from that in the compat.ss library.
- `annotation? : SchemeValue -> bool`
  which determines whether or not a Scheme symbol is a document annotation;
- `end-annotation : annotation -> annotation`
  which consumes an annotation and produces a matching ending; and
- `write-file : (list-of atom) [string]-> void `
  which consumes a list of annotated symbols and prints them out as a "file"; it returns nothing. if the string argument is present, it is interpreted as a file name: the words are written to this file; if the file exists, it is deleted``

Sample session: set teachpack to `docs.ss` and execute:

    > (annotation? 0)
    #f
    > (annotation? ')
    #t
    > (end-annotation 0)
    end-annotation: not an annotation: 0
    > (write-file (list 'a 'b))
    a b
