We examine the differences, < text-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `textmodes/text-mode'. < (text-mode) --- > The major mode is described first. > For minor modes, see following pages. > Text mode: < makefile-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `make-mode'. < (makefile-mode) --- > The major mode is described first. > For minor modes, see following pages. > Makefile mode: As we see, with the present C-h m, we are denied the juicy link. Instead Mr. Rodgers proposes the user translate "Makefile" into "makefile-mode", "Text" into "text-mode", and hit some more keys, for fear of overkill.
