II Cookbook🔗ℹ

Pick a task. The short recipes with displayed results use executable Scribble examples: the manual build evaluates their code and shows or checks the result. Hidden setup supplies imports and other boilerplate. The worked-example chapters also contain source-only code fragments and commands for complete programs; those blocks are not evaluated by the manual build.

Recipes stay short. For whole source files, explanations of their structure, render commands, and selected frames, see Complete Example Programs. A recipe still uses an external file when its module or toolchain is part of the task.

A recipe is not a replacement for the Reference. Use the Reference when you need every option, contract, or restriction.
