Subject: bug#42591: A minor error in the Elisp manual
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 20:45:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <SN6PR02MB500587D3D532B02D7CAFF671AA700@SN6PR02MB5005.namprd02.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 662 bytes --]
In the Elisp manual in section 9.2 Defining Symbols, the first sentence
in the third paragraph says:
In principle, you can assign a variable value to any symbol with setq,
whether not it has first been defined as a variable.
I believe that the word 'or' is missing between the words 'whether' and
'not', and that the sentence should read:
In principle, you can assign a variable value to any symbol with setq,
whether or not it has first been defined as a variable.
Sincerely,
