     38 <p>Throughout this manual, the phrases &ldquo;the Kernel reader&rdquo; and &ldquo;the Kernel
     39 printer&rdquo; are used to refer to those routines in Lisp that convert
     40 textual representations of Kernel objects into actual objects, and
     41 <!-- TODO xref to printed representations -->
     42 vice versa.  XXX Printed Representation XXX, for more details.  You, the
     43 person reading this manual, are assumed to be &ldquo;the programmer&rdquo; or
     44 &ldquo;the user&rdquo;.
     45 
     46    <p><a name="index-fonts-2"></a>  Examples of Kernel code appear in this font or form: <code>(list 1 2
     47 3)</code>.  Names that represent arguments or metasyntactic variables appear
     48 in this font or form: <var>first-number</var>.
