Subject: bug#9688: Misleading documentation in "Persistent Mark".
Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2011 09:10:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111007091023.GA3054@acm.acm> (raw)

Hi, Emacs.

The chapter "Persistent Mark" in the Emacs manual is misleading.

The chapter title suggests that the mark is otherwise transient.  This is
not the case by default, since `mark-even-if-inactive' is non-nil by
default.
