Like 'gnus-nntp-server' in the gnus manual. If I enter C-c-e to evaluate this quoted variable, I either got and error "The symbol's value is void" or "gnus-nntp-server", (the variable name itsself) in two difference machines. Can anyone tell me how to make valuation works correctly in the documentation system. Thanks in advance.
