Subject: bug#52741: 27.2; Doc string of `visual-line-mode'
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2021 22:42:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <SJ0PR10MB5488E1441E9C533F15E021A6F37D9@SJ0PR10MB5488.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
This part of the doc isn't helpful:
If called interactively, enable Visual-Line mode if ARG is positive,
and disable it if ARG is zero or negative.
What on earth is ARG, for interactive use? The description of
interactive use should talk about things like a prefix arg, not about
unexplained things like ARG. How will a user know how to pass argument
ARG interactively?
(Once again, minor-mode doc problems. This seems to be a never-ending
cleanup.)
