On 11= October 2024 20:13:44 GMT, Petteri Hintsanen <petterih@iki=2Efi> wro= te:
I was wondering if Emacs could do =
dictionary look-ups=2E

After failed search through the manual (for "=
dictionary") I resorted to
a web search=2E  It quickly showed that Emacs=
 has included dictionary=2Eel
since version 28 or so=2E

Why this =
extremely useful feature is not mentioned in the manual at all?
Or did I=
 just miss it somehow?


Hello Petteri,

Now that I realize I've been us= ing dictionary in Emacs for years and thinking that I learnt about it from = the manual when I actually got it from one of the blogposts I think=2E
<= br>I agree=2E It is crucial to include documentation about dictionary, I'd = be willing to be of help if needed=2E
