Subject: bug#1478: 23.0.60; doc string of custom-unlispify-*
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2008 16:00:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002701c954da$22fdc570$0200a8c0@us.oracle.com> (raw)
1. The doc string of `custom-unlispify-menu-entries' says only this:
"Display menu entries as words instead of symbols if non-nil."
What menu entries? Which menu?
It took me a while, searching and experimenting, to find that this is
about the `Custom' menu's submenus. Please clarify what this is for in
the doc string.
2. The doc string of `custom-unlispify-tag-names' says only this:
"Display tag names as words instead of symbols if non-nil."
What's a tag name? This won't make much sense to an Emacs user who isn't savvy
to Emacs Lisp, `defcustom' :type, and :tag. Please explain this
better. A simple illustrative example never hurts: show what happens if
it's nil vs if it's non-nil.
These doc strings are all the user has to go on, since these options are not
described in any manual.
