Although Scheme is basically case insensitive, the LAML software does not rely on this property, and we recommend case sensitive reading. From LAML version 26 we assume that the Scheme reader is case sensitive. The LAML software is written in a case sensitive style, in the sense that a given name, such as xyz is consistently referred to as xyz, not XYZ nor xYz. The SVG mirror requires case sensitive reading of symbols. Guile uses case sensitive reader per default. In MzScheme (read-case-sensitive #t) is used to obtain it. read-case-sensitive is called in the MzScheme compatibility file.

• laml-process-current-buffer
  Start LAML asynchronously on the current buffer, say f.laml. This creates or overwrites the file f.html.
  In the hygienic setup this command is bound to C-c C-o.

• laml-sync-process-current-buffer
  Start LAML synchronously on the current buffer, say f.laml. This creates or overwrites the file f.html.
  In the original setup this command is bound to C-c C-x C-o.

• laml-process-buffer
  Start LAML on particular buffer of your choice, say b. This typically creates the file b.html

• tidy-laml-form
  Tidy up the LAML form under point. Breaks long strings relative to the value of the variable tidy-fill-column, fixes LAML forms with fix-laml-form, and takes care of indentation. If tidy-laml-form is applied multiple times at the same location, tidy-fill-column will be incremented for each application. When you are satisfied with the value of tidy-fill-column you should use tidy-laml-form-again instead of tidy-laml-form. tidy-laml-form-again does not change tidy-fill-column. Keybinding C-c C-x C-t and C-c C-x C-y respectively.

• embed
  Embed the currently selected substring or word into a LAML form. A word is selected implicitly by pointing at its first character. This command handles the necessary string splitting and string concatenation. Keybinding C-c C-x C-e.

• unembed
  Unembeds the currently selected form. This is the reverse command to embed. The form is selected by pointing at the start parenthesis or a character in the form name. This command unnests the form, joins neighboring strings, and gets rid of a possibly unnecessary string concatenation form. Keybinding: C-c C-r

• split
  Splits a string in two parts and insert a surrounding concatenate form if desired. Keybinding: C-c C-q.

• unsplit
  Joins neigboring strings to a single string and remove a possible surrounding concatenate form if it is redundant. Keybinding: C-c C-a.

• laml-mode
  Set the major mode of the current buffer to LAML mode.

• laml-insert-template
  Insert a stored template. You are prompted for a particular one.

• insert-laml-template
  An alias for laml-insert-template

• nest
  Nest the current Lisp form into an extra form (a general lisp editing command). Keybinding: C-c C-n.

• unnest
  The opposite command to nest. Keybinding: C-c C-m.

• open-laml-form
  Open a new laml form. Keybinding: C-c C-x C-l.

• insert-relative-file-path
  Insert a file path, which is relative to the current directory associated with the current buffer. This command is, for instance, useful whenever you make relative links from one web document to another.

The embed, unembed, split, and unsplit commands are important, because they help the LAML user to embed portions of a string into a Lisp form. Stated in a slightly different way, these commands alleviate the inconvenience caused by the string passing problem (the problem that occurs because all strings must be passed explicitly to LAML functions - this is one of the main points which in a significant way makes LAML different from other similar work).

There also exists a number of more specific emacs command for the Elucidator and LENO.

In case you want to change the key bindings used by Emacs LAML mode, you find most of them in the file emacs-support/laml-key-menu-bindings.el. The keybindings of LENO and the Scheme Elucidator are not in this file, however.
