Subject: Duplicate Phrasing in Emacs Manual
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2018 08:44:34 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8641b43c-cf98-e90b-4113-59b4e6f79eb1@disroot.org> (raw)

On page 70 of the Emacs 26 manual (10.8 Bookmarks) the phrase

 > The prototypical use of bookmarks is to record where you were
 > reading in various files.

After listing out various keybindings, the manual continues with

 > The prototypical use for bookmarks is to record one current position
 > in each of several files. So the command C-x r m, which sets a
 > bookmark ...

This is potentially confusing, so might I suggest changing the second
paragraph to

 > The command C-x r m, which sets a bookmark...

Thus eliminating the duplicate sentence.
