The style of the User Manual is that of a tutorial and many examples are included to demonstrate the various features of Pascal. Summarizing tables and syntax specifications are among the Appendices. The Report serves as the ultimate, concise reference for both programmers and implementors. It describes Standard Pascal, which constitutes a common base between various implements of the language.
