structured and the node types are context-independent. The layer makes
it possible to transparently attach source-code comments and user
annotations to nodes of the tree. Using the abstract layer makes
applications less sensitive to changes in the {@link //stdlib/erl_parse}

library module {@link prettypr}: this is a powerful and flexible generic

-<p>For a short demonstration of parsing and pretty-printing, simply

-<p>News in 1.1:
-<ul>
- <li>Module {@link erl_tidy}: check or tidy either a single module, or a
- whole directory tree recursively. Rewrites and reformats the code
- without losing comments or expanding macros. Safe mode allows
- generating reports without modifying files.</li>
- <li>Module {@link erl_syntax_lib}: contains support functions for easier
- analysis of the source code structure.</li>
- <li>Module {@link epp_dodger}: Bypasses the Erlang preprocessor - avoids
- macro expansion, file inclusion, conditional compilation, etc.
- Allows you to find/modify particular definitions/applications of
- macros, and other things previously not possible.</li>
