In the current cvs, the "Signaling Errors" node of the elisp manual has

 -- Function: signal error-symbol data
     This

     function signals an error named by ERROR-SYMBOL.  The argument
     DATA is a list of additional Lisp objects relevant to the
     circumstances of the error.

which I think is an unintended paragraph break.


I think it's caused by @anchor on a line of its own in the source.  I
get some joy from the change below, following the style shown in the
texinfo manual, ie. hanging it onto the start of a word.

        * control.texi (Signaling Errors): In `signal', join @anchor into
        paragraph text, to avoid a paragraph break after the first
        word "This".
