Subject: bug#4925: 23.1; doc string of global-hl-highlight
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 07:36:59 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48BBB37B9E7342FC9AAA1C4774B79713@us.oracle.com> (raw)

It is:
 
  Active the Global-Hl-Line overlay on the current line in the
  current window.
 
"Active" is not a verb in English.
 
Consider using a description that is more user oriented, talking about
the visible effect, not implementation details such as overlays. 
 
E.g. "Highlight the line the cursor is on in the current window."
 

In GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2009-07-29 on SOFT-MJASON
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (4.4)'
