hl-line-mode needs an index entry under "highlighting"

hl-line-mode needs an index entry under "highlighting"

[Eric Hanchrow]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Someone on IRC just asked "Is there an easy way to get emacs to
highlight the line point is on?"  I assumed there was, so I searched
for "highlight" in the Emacs manual's index ... but never found
hl-line-mode.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/src/emacs-cvs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Re: never mind: hl-line-mode needs an index entry under "highlighting"

Gaah.  There is indeed an index entry; I just didn't see it.  Please
ignore the previous bug report.  Nothing to see here; move along ...
