Subject: bug#20180: Missing documentation about redisplay.
Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2021 11:13:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87h7br5n7z.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <83bnjjqvwv.fsf@gnu.org> (Eli Zaretskii's message of "Mon, 23 Mar 2015 22:52:00 +0200")
Reading this thread, I think the conclusion here is that the redisplay
stuff is just too low-level and finicky to be meaningfully documented in
the lispref manual. You really have to read xdisp.c to start to
understand how that works.
And I think that's fine -- not everything can be put into the lispref
manual. So I'm closing this bug report.
