Hi, thanks a lot, and yes: that was it! I had just used modules - not defined a module
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (use-modules (sxml match) (sxml transform) (sxml simple) ... (ice-9 pretty-print) (sxml apply-templates) ;; cut (srfi srfi-26) ;; match (ice-9 match) ) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- And now I have both: a module definition, and usage as above And M-. works (after C-c C-k -- yes!) --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-module (stuff)) (use-modules (sxml match) (sxml transform) (sxml simple) ... (ice-9 pretty-print) (sxml apply-templates) ;; cut (srfi srfi-26) ;; match (ice-9 match) ) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Or more compact maybe: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-module (stuff) #:use-module (sxml match) #:use-module (sxml transform) #:use-module (sxml simple) ... ) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Many thanks again! -A PS: I am list-replying - sorry if you get my message twice now!
