Subject: bug#47416: Strange sentence in documentation of 'insert-file-contents'
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2021 02:12:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210326181250.ykkaiotkb4mgmbmo@home-guest> (raw)

The last paragraph/sentence in the documentation of 'insert-file-contents' is:

> In addition, this function decodes the inserted text from known formats
> by calling `format-decode', which see.

It looks like there is something wrong about this sentence.

"... which see." — See what?

The sentence was introduced by commit bb085aed9593 (2012-12-21).
