[PATCH] objects.texi style

2005-09-09 Thread Joshua Varner
Here are some initial style recommendations for objects.texi. A couple of them are related to indexing. Are there any guidelines when it comes to what should be indexed? For example, none of the types have index entries. Patch attached. Josh Index: objects.texi ==

[PATCH] Moving Comments node from objects.texi to intro.texi

2005-09-07 Thread Joshua Varner
When going through objects.texi the oddest part I found, was the section on comments. To me comments have nothing to do with objects, and while tangentially related to read syntax they are not part of any particular object's read syntax. Since I've only gone through the two files so far, I can onl

[PATCH] intro.texi

2005-09-01 Thread Joshua Varner
Since one of the Release goals is proofing the manuals, I'm sending this here, rather than the bug-lisp-manual. I've attached a patch to intro.texi and the Changelog, but I'm going to inline the intro.texi part and make some comments, so that a commiter can decide which parts to apply. I tried to

I found a file that would consitently cause the problem from my last e-mail - same stack trace and everything. So, i updated to CVS Head and verified the bug is still there. I then tried to strip that file down to a minimal test case and had some very strange results. While trying to take out anyth

I know that there have been some commits since this version, but in case it is useful I just had a Makefile shoot into an infinite loop. I think this string was the problem "# $Header: ", but it is not reproducable just opening the file. I had this session for only a few hours, but a fresh emacs on
