3.9 Guidelines for writing a library

Although there are very few enforced rules on how libraries are written (see Libraries), it is recommended that the libraries comply with the guidelines explained in this section, so that debugging and understanding are made easier.

Note: For libraries which are to be included in the SINGULAR distribution, the following guidelines are mandatory.

3.9.1 Procedures in a library
3.9.2 Documentation of a library
3.9.3 Typesetting of help strings
3.9.4 The help string of a library
3.9.5 The help string of procedures
