Some time ago it was asked whether the structure of the manual could be
optimized. Here's a suggestion which probably doesn't attain the optimum
but IMHO could be an improvement:
- Introduce a new part "Programming in gretl (a.k.a. introduction to
'hansl')". This part would (initially) consist of chapters 9 through 13
(maybe also 14).
- Convert chapter 12 (lists and strings) into sections of chapter 11
(data types). I also thought about doing the same with chapter 13
(matrices), but matrices are so important and chapter 13 so long that it
probably deserves to be left as is.
- move chapter 10 (functions) to the end of the new hansl part (i.e.
after what's now chapter 13 or chapter 14)
what do you think?
