M-g g and M-g M-g are mentioned in the list, but unexplained (also see M-g M-n and M-g n). On the same page, M-x goto-char (and goto-line) is a bit confusing in its explanation. "Read a number n (you will be prompted for the number)....Position 1 is the beginning of the buffer (ie the first character in the buffer)" might clarify the meaning. Once goto-char is explained this way, M-x goto-line makes more sense. Finally, page 520, in the note, links to a URL with a .xhtml extension. This should be .html. Though .xhtml works, it is a symbolic link to the .html file; this is a problem because .xhtml is an application/xml+xhtml MIME type, and our webserver only sends our files as text/html (sending .xhtml as text/html might be considered against w3 standard, whereas sending XHTML 1.0 as .html--text/html--at least is allowed, if imperfect); plus reliance on the symlink instead of the real file risks link breakage.
