It's a quoted symbol when it appears in a > docstring, just as `foo-bar' is a quoted symbol. Well, there could be (defun foo-bar () "Computes the Foo-Bar sequence. For a description of the Foo-Bar sequence, see =E2=80=98Foo-Bar=E2=80=99, John Doe et al., Proceedings on Foo Bar, 2012." ...) where =E2=80=98Foo-Bar=E2=80=99 is a real quote rather than a symbol markup= . Of courses, such cases are probably rare but still there's a point in having symbol markup separated from quoting. (Well, ok, then the above quote should simply be changed to =E2=80=9CFoo-Bar=E2=80=9D and we're good = again.) Bye, Tassilo
