For example the preface appears like this: ---- ESC[1m1. PrefaceESC[0m ESC[1mS-Lang ESC[22mis an interpreted language that was designed from the start to be easily embedded into a program to provide it with a powerful extension language. Examples of programs that use ESC[1mS-Lang ESC[22mas an extension language include the ESC[1mjed ESC[22mtext editor and the ESC[1mslrnESC[0m newsreader. Although ESC[1mS-Lang ESC[22mdoes not exist as a separate application, it is distributed with a quite capable program called ESC[1mslsh ESC[22m(``slang- shell'') that embeds the interpreter and allows one to execute ESC[1mS-LangESC[0m scripts, or simply experiment with ESC[1mS-Lang ESC[22mat an interactive prompt. Many of the the examples in this document are presented in the context of one of the above applications. ESC[1mS-Lang ESC[22mis also a programmer's library that permits a programmer to develop sophisticated platform-independent software. In addition to providing the ESC[1mS-Lang ESC[22minterpreter, the library provides facilities for screen management, keymaps, low-level terminal I/O, etc. However, this document is concerned only with the extension language and does not address these other features of the ESC[1mS-Lang ESC[22mlibrary. For information about the other components of the library, the reader is referred to ESC[1mThe S-Lang ESC[22mLibrary Reference. ---- Thanks so much for your work.
