Good question! - thanks. The original post contained this wording: > > C-h f auto-fill-mode says : > > ''To check whether the minor mode is > > enabled in the current buffer, evaluate ‘auto-fill-function’. '' At least in master one gets: | To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, | evaluate the variable ‘auto-fill-function’. which is (as opposed to the first version) ok to me. "Check the binding" would be a bit better IMO, but I don't find anything confusing in the current wording. I should have checked earlier. Michael.
