Subject: bug#15375: 24.3.50; Elisp manual: mention what units are used for window margin functions
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 15:17:31 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eaf7fceb-d02d-4cd9-9b52-e815d4c47926@default> (raw)
(elisp) `Display Margins` talks a lot about window margins, but AFAICT
it never once says which units are used for the functions and variables
described there. I'm guessing the unit is `frame-char-width', but Emacs
should tell us explicitly here.
Moreover, we don't even tell users what a nil value means, as opposed
to a whole number.
For example, right now, `M-: (window-margins)' returns `(nil)' for me,
which corresponds to both LEFT and RIGHT being nil. What does a nil
value mean for each of these?
