This is going to be very ugly when explained in the Emacs manual. In the Emacs manual you still will have to use (default-)indicate-empty-lines and (default-)indicate-buffer-boundaries, because only they can be given buffer local values (in the non default- version) and only they can be set in .emacs (in the default- version). Then you will have to explain that to be able to safely use the default- versions, you have to set the menu bar variable fringe-indicators to 'other, to avoid having your customizations overridden by inadvertently loading fringe.el.
It is complicated, but I think it is worth while to make it easy for beginners to control these options *simply* with the menu bar. However, if you can design a simpler method that implements the same menu bar options, that would be better. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
