Subject: bug#16308: 24.3.50; doc of `font-lock-keywords'
Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:20:42 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <249f7d3a-dc4e-4963-b8ce-1d3f0120609d@default> (raw)
The description in the Elisp manual, which is our reference, should be
at least as complete as the doc string. It is not. In particular, it
does not describe the structure of the value correctly. It does not
mention the compiled form, with car `t' etc.
The doc string is far more complete. If anything, it should be the
other way around. But preferably, both doc string and manual (node
`Search-based Fontification', currently) should each be complete and
correct.
[BTW, the name of that node should use "Search-Based", not "Search-based".]
