Subject: bug#43713: 26.3; doc of `define-generic-mode'
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:55:00 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b4f42178-6e0a-41d3-8051-9e1fe4d0ecff@default> (raw)

The doc string says nothing at all about what a generic mode is.

(elisp) `Generic Modes' says only this:

  "Generic modes" are simple major modes with basic support for comment
  syntax and Font Lock mode.

Is that all users need to know about a generic mode?

Can we at least say something like that in the doc string?
