Topic: G Code explained?

Is there a good guide or website that can explain what most if not all the G-code commands are?
I may have missed it here, but I would like to know what I am editing when I edit the g-code for say the start and stop codes.

Re: G Code explained?

The main page of the firmware lists all the codes it will accept. Just open marlin.pde and scroll down. It does NOT however, list syntax, so you cant tell what other blocks need to be on the same line for the code to work.

It should be mentioned that G-code greatly differs between machines of differant styles. The code for our printers has very little in common with a mill for example.

The reprap wiki has a good list.  If you google gcode marlin it will be one of the first links.  Also in Repetier's gcode editor if you change the tab at the bottom to Help it will explain the gcode of the line the cursor is on.
