Subject: Does the role of minor-mode-alist variable is to only help in displaying the mode name?
Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2014 05:36:50 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391866610.96105.YahooMailBasic@web126006.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> (raw)
In the elisp document the role of the minor-mode-alist variable is described as below.
23.3.1 Conventions for Writing Minor Modes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Add an element to `minor-mode-alist' for each minor mode (*note
Definition of minor-mode-alist::), if you want to indicate the
minor mode in the mode line.
But the function "describe-mode" uses the variable "minor-mode-alist" to find the list of minor modes. Does this mean the document is to be updated. Because it gives the impression the information about the minor modes are stored somewhere else. Although i am not able to find it out.
Regards,
Talespin
