Yes, mine came from http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp-manual/html_mono/elisp.html where the same version can still be found. And I would second the vote against removing the version number. As a newbee I depended on that (perhaps wrongly) telling me if I'd found a newer version of the manual in html format (which I always looked/wished for). I depended on the html version for 2 reasons. 1 it was easily printed (1 keystroke gave me the whole manual). 2 remembering the editing keychords was a monumental enough task that remembering the keys for accessing and searching the built in help (which are completely different from keys I'd use to search the text I was editing!) was just too much. Plus, INFO limits my view too much. I can only see one INFO node at a time. In one-page html I can view as much as will fit on my screen (which is pretty much on dual 24" 1980x1200 monitors). Now, I know the keys but still don't use INFO. I know where things are so I can just use a hard-copy. Formatted like this: makeinfo --html --no-headers --no-split printed 4-up duplex with a spiral binding, I see 8 pages at once and it doesn't take a single pixel away from my view of whatever I'm working on. Not to mention I can get up and walk around while reading it, stick bookmarks in it, write notes in it ... get back to work Rick.. Ok Bye. _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
