Perhaps emacs-lisp-intro shouldn't suggest obsolete packages, so all these three paragraphs about edit-options should be removed from emacs-lisp-intro. This is a good idea. I have commented out the three paragraphs in emacs/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (eintr)defvar and asterisk Next time you `make info dvi html' the surface representations should be updated. Is the main point of the node still accurate? When you specified a variable using the @code{defvar} special form, you could distinguish a readily settable variable from others by typing an asterisk, @samp{*}, in the first column of its documentation string. .... -- Robert J.
