Subject: bug#9156: 24.0.50; `apropos' doc in Elisp manual
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 10:36:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <63826CEAD8D342239444E86F6B6A446B@us.oracle.com> (raw)
NOTE: Sending this from a different Emacs version, since bug reporting
from emacs -Q is completely broken in this version:
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2011-07-18 on 3249CTO
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (4.5) --no-opt --cflags
-Ic:/build/include'
---------------
emacs -Q
(elisp) Help Functions says this in its attempt to describe command
`apropos':
The function returns a list of elements that look like this:
(SYMBOL SCORE FN-DOC VAR-DOC
PLIST-DOC WIDGET-DOC FACE-DOC GROUP-DOC)
None of those introduced (meta) names is defined/described, apart from
SCORE. This description of the return value is meaningless and not
helpful. The doc needs to describe such terms that it introduces.
