+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(symbolp <i>expr</i>)</dt>
+<dd><i>expr</i> - the expression to check<br>
+returns - <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> if the expression
+is a symbol, <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> otherwise</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'symbolp' predicate function checks if an 'expr' is a valid symbol.
+<a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> is returned if 'expr' is a
+symbol, <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is returned otherwise. An
+'expr' that evaluates to an integer, function [subr or otherwise], and so
+on is not a symbol. However, the quoted [un-evaluated] name of these
+objects [like 'myarray] is a valid symbol.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(symbolp (make-symbol "a"))       <font color="#008844">; returns T - symbol</font>
+(symbolp 'a)                      <font color="#008844">; returns T - symbol</font>
+
+(symbolp #(1 2 3))                <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - array</font>
+(symbolp (lambda (x) (print x)))  <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - closure</font>
+(symbolp *standard-output*)       <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - stream</font>
+(symbolp 1.2)                     <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - float</font>
+(symbolp 2)                       <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - integer</font>
+(symbolp object)                  <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - object</font>
+(symbolp "hi")                    <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - string</font>
+
+(symbolp #'car)                   <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - subr</font>
+(symbolp 'car)                    <font color="#008844">; returns T - it is a symbol now</font>
+(symbolp '2)                      <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - not a symbol</font>
