Subject: literal newlines in @result{} strings
Date: 29 Aug 2005 19:33:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <jkr7ccfhdx.fsf@glug.org> (raw)

i'm currently looking at text.texi (as part of the required review
indicated in admin/FOR-RELEASE) and see two instances of a newline
literal in the @result{} string, both in examples, one for
`buffer-string' and one for `buffer-substring':

     @result{} "This is the contents of buffer foo
"

@result{} "he contents of buffer foo
"

for `thing-at-point' i see:

     @result{} "Gentlemen may cry ``Peace! Peace!,''\n"

which has the `\n' instead of a literal newline.  i'd like to change the
former two to resemble the latter.  any objections?  any reason to go in
the opposite direction?
