Tintware Documentation : Tint Programming Language : Tint Tutorial

Tutorial

Tint is a string substitution language. It is designed to be easy to use for writing programs which manipulate text. Typically it is used as an extension language for other applications.

You can use Tint Emacs (temacs or wemacs), tci, or tintc to try out programming using Tint. In Tint Emacs, place the cursor after an expression you wish to evaluate and press C-x C-e; the result will be shown in the minibuffer (the line at the bottom of the window). tci is a command line interpreter for tint; each line of input is evaluated after pressing Enter. Use #(tint.halt), or Ctrl-Z on Windows, or Ctrl-D on Unix to exit.
