There _is_ a way: the node "Faces" in the Emacs manual lists all the faces that Emacs knows about. So if you know you are looking for a face, you should find it there. That said, if someone can suggest a few strings or phrases that could be useful index entries for the fringes, please speak up, and I will add the most successful indexing to the manual, so that the description of the fringes could be easily found via the index search even if one doesn't know the name. (A good criterion for coming up with a useful index entry is to ask yourself what would you try to look up in the index if I needed to find out about this feature and didn't know its exact name.) _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
