Starting doc string > that way is only optional I believe. Please make sure that any changes you make in this don't break loaddefs.el. I believe loaddefs is the reason for that requirement of how the doc string should begin (since loaddefs is generated by a program, there's no problem satisfying that requirement in that case). I imagine that there was some reason to require such a format, in which case we should avoid breaking that. Richard, do you recall why this format was required? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
