Nothing important, I was just reading documentation of radomly choosen
commands. But the same happens on a number of commands.

Really I am searching for _command_ help: "C-h F replace-string" gives:
Next: Regexp Replace, Prev: Replace, Up: Replace
(emacs)Top > Search > Replace > Unconditional Replace
| 19.9.1 Unconditional Replacement
| --------------------------------
|
| `M-x replace-string <RET> STRING <RET> NEWSTRING <RET>'
| Replace every occurrence of STRING with NEWSTRING.
|
| To replace every instance of `foo' after point with `bar', use the
| command `M-x replace-string' with the two arguments `foo' and `bar'.
| Replacement happens only in the text after point, so if you want to
| cover the whole buffer you must go to the beginning first. All
| occurrences up to the end of the buffer are replaced; to limit
| replacement to part of the buffer, activate the region around that
| part. When the region is active, replacement is limited to the region
| (see Mark).
| [...]
With "C-h F format-decode-buffer", I get:
