I've seen this as well and wondered what it meant... "By hand" - is the recommended way having a bunch of text files and have that compiled, or should one generate the documentation straight from Elisp, including docstrings and/or comments? Also, when you could edit Info nodes that way, where did those edits go? Using the useful and sensible program that was the initial topic of this thread, we find out that for example Gnus' is here /usr/share/info/emacs-24/gnus.info while SLIME is here ~/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-20170921.1000/slime.info so while the SLIME's manual could be annotated without any hazard, how will this be done with Gnus' without sudo right and without the changes/annotations being threatened by updates? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
