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}

+and execute `demo:run()' from the Erlang shell. It will compile the

-<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>
-</ul>
-</p>
+Also try the {@link erl_tidy} module, as follows:
+```erl_tidy:dir("any-erlang-source-dir", [test, old_guard_tests]).'''
+(the `test' option assures that no files are modified).
