   I'm probably the last person on earth who has discovered that there is a searchable and nicely rendered version of the Common Lisp HyperSpec, called Nova Spec:

   https://novaspec.org

   A pleasant surprise.

     @louis I use it from here: http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/ This gives you a permuted symbol index that makes things really easy to find if you only remember part of the name.

     You can also apt-get it to access it from the Linux documentation. It's uglier, I guess. And which is better - permuted index or a search?

     The version you linked to visibly looks a lot more like the Linux Documentation version.

     EDIT: Ohh, the drop down when you're preparing to search is better than the permuted index.

     @rogersm AFAIK Nova Spec is based on dpANS2 (draft preview 2 of the ANSI standard), which is public domain.

     @louis whoa! This is great! But I thought the copyright did not allow for this kind of reformatting.
