That's documentation for Lisp program writers. It is a weirdness for Emacs users, so I think the aspects that affect users should be in the Emacs Manual. > This thread is about something else -- about a user option that would > disable converting `..' into ‘..’. Maybe that should be part of what it says about curly quotes conversion in the Emacs Manual. I am not insisting this particular option is worth including there. Maybe it is, but that's not my point. I think the fact that this conversion EXISTS should be there. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
