The Detailed Node listing now reads Control Structures * Sequencing:: Evaluation in textual order. * Conditionals:: @code{if}, @code{cond}, @code{when}, @code{= unless}. * Combining Conditions:: @code{and}, @code{or}, @code{not}. * Iteration:: @code{while} loops. * Generators:: Generic sequences and coroutines. * Nonlocal Exits:: Jumping out of a sequence. Conditionals * Pattern matching case statement:: How to use @code{pcase}. Nonlocal Exits * Catch and Throw:: Nonlocal exits for the program's own purpos= es. * Examples of Catch:: Showing how such nonlocal exits can be writ= ten. * Errors:: How errors are signaled and handled. * Cleanups:: Arranging to run a cleanup form if an Note that "Conditionals" now appears twice: as a proper node name and as a newly added section containing only "pcase" and nothing else. --=20 David Kastrup
