+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(tagbody [<i>expr</i> ... ])</dt>
+<dd><i>expr</i> - expressions comprising the body of the block which may
+contain <a href="go.htm">go</a>s or tags for
+<a href="go.htm">go</a><br>
+returns - <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'tagbody' special form is basically a 'block' construct that contains
+a block of code [expressions] to evaluate. After the execution of the
+'tagbody' 'exprs', <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is returned. The
+'tagbody' special form allows 'go-to' style branching within the 'block'
+construct via the <a href="go.htm">go</a> special form. To allow
+this, each 'expr' may be a tag or a form. The tag-symbol is the 'label' and
+must exist somewhere within the 'block' that the <a
+href="go.htm">go</a> occurs within.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(tagbody <font color="#008844">; build the 'block'</font>
+ start (print "begin") <font color="#008844">; tag - start</font>
+ (GO end)
+ (print "hello") <font color="#008844">; won't ever be reached</font>
+ end (print "done")) <font color="#008844">; tag - END</font>
+ <font color="#008844">; prints "begin" "done"</font>
+ <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
+</pre>
