Subject: bug#54543: Unclear explanation in the "Select Tags Table" part of the manual
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2022 14:12:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1lewztrxr.fsf@yahoo.es> (raw)
In-Reply-To: m1lewztrxr.fsf.ref@yahoo.es


Steps to reproduce the problem:

emacs -Q
Eval (info "(emacs) Select Tags Table")

The manual says at the beginning:

"Emacs has at any time at most one “selected” tags table.  All the
commands for working with tags tables use the selected one."

But then, later on, it says:

"The tags commands use all the tags tables
in the current list.  If you start a new list, the new tags table is
used _instead_ of others.  If you add the new table to the current list,
it is used _as well as_ the others."

Doesn't this sound like a contradiction?  I think the first sentence
should say there's at most one selected "tags table _list_", right?

Thanks.
