Sweep comes with many useful commands and features for working with SWI-Prolog. This section lists suggested ways for you to get to know the provided commands and make the most out of Sweep.
The main documentation resource for Sweep is this very manual. It describes almost every command and customization option that Sweep provides. Since Sweep includes many features, describing all them makes this manual longer then you’d probably want to read upfront. Instead it’s recommended that you skim this manual to get an idea of the available features, and then return to it as a reference during your work with Sweep.
To open this manual from within Emacs, type C-h i (info)
to open the Info reader, followed by d m sweep RET to go
to the top Info directory and select the Sweep manual. Sweep also
provides a convenient command for opening the manual:
Display the Sweep manual in Info.
To open the relevant part of the manual for a specific command that you want to learn more about, type C-h F followed by the name of that command. For example, typing C-h F sweeprolog-info-manual RET brings up this manual section in Info. If the command you’re interested in is bound to a key sequence, you can go to its Info node by typing C-h K followed by the key sequence that invokes it.
Other than the text in this manual, Sweep commands and user options
have Elisp documentation strings that describe them individually. The
various Emacs Help commands (C-h k, C-h f, C-h v,
etc.) display these documentation strings in a dedicated Help buffer
(see (emacs)Help). From the Help buffer, you can jump to the
relevant Info node typing i (help-goto-info) to read more
about related commands and customization options.
