Subject: Make apostrophes invisible in Help buffers
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 01:10:29 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <17317.20917.890165.284080@kahikatea.snap.net.nz> (raw)


The patch below works just for symbols and is just for demonstration purposes.
It would also be nice to use the same face as Info for links.  After the
release, info-xref-visited face could also be used help topics previously
visited.
