Hi
I noted this glitch since 28.x. Still there in 29.x.
HTML version has the section on 'rx' regexps coding, but it is missing from
the PDFs downloadable from the main site
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html
All the best

This is on purpose: the Rx section is excluded from the printed
manual, to keep the printed manual's size at bay. Several other
sections are also excluded.
This is not a bug.

Thanks.
A bit confusing though... Time to re-evaluate this choice?

Could be. Feel free to bring it up on emacs-devel. But the size
issue of the ELisp manual is very real: it already prints as two quite
thick volumes. So we will continue trying to keep some less important
parts of the manual be excluded from the printed version.
Why don't you use the on-line version, either Info or HTML? The PDF
version is basically needed for printing the manual, not for reading
it on-line.

Hi
Understood.
I like the PDF because it is "fully offline". I am a cheap old geezer who
does not like to be always online and I have an almost three hours train
commute :)
All the best
Marco

?? You can have both the HTML and the Info manuals on your local disk
and use them when you are off-line.

The section about "Rx Notation" in doc/lispref/searching.texi is embedded with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@ifnottex
@node Rx Notation
@subsection The @code{rx} Structured Regexp Notation
...
@end ifnottex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The commit message of ac1ad3e49abd, which brought it to the manual,
claims
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The additions are excluded from the print version to avoid making it
thicker.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So it isn't a bug. Closing.
> All the best
Best regards, Michael.
