Subject: Packaging system: Package documentation in the *Help* buffer
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2020 23:12:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86blq216hp.fsf@duenenhof-wilhelm.de> (raw)
Hello Emacs
The Elisp manual (GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 3.22.30) of 2019-12-14) states that a README in the content
directory of a package will be used as a package description for C-h P.
Please check
(info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages").
Yet this isn't working! By looking at other packages It seems that
there must be a file `PACKAGE-NAME-readme.txt' BELOW the content
directory to get a long description in the package help.
Is this a bug in package.el or is it an oversight in the Elisp manual?
Thanks
Dieter
