Sure, the change I submitted for make-docfile.c does not change any doc strings, thus I believe does not affect loaddefs.el either. It only changes how to find the doc strings, including from loaddefs.el. And yes, it must be made clear why those constraints I removed from make-docfile.c were there before. -Tak _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
