+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(cons <i>expr-car expr-cdr</i>)</dt>
+<dd><i>expr-car</i> - an expression<br>
+<i>expr-cdr</i> - an expression<br>
+returns - the new list</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'cons' function takes two expressions and constructs a new list from
+them. If the 'expr-cdr' is not a list, then the result will be a
+'dotted-pair'.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(cons 'a 'b) <font color="#008844">; returns (A . B)</font>
+(cons 'a nil) <font color="#008844">; returns (A)</font>
+(cons 'a '(b)) <font color="#008844">; returns (A B)</font>
+(cons '(a b) '(c d)) <font color="#008844">; returns ((A B) C D)</font>
+(cons '(a b) 'c) <font color="#008844">; returns ((A B) . C)</font>
+(cons (- 4 3) '(2 3)) <font color="#008844">; returns (1 2 3)</font>
