While trying to document a bug I ran Emacs using -Q.
It was a nice surprise to see syntax highlighting and paren matching were on.
I've always thought these should default to ON.
But the doc specifically says
...
This is like using `-q' and `--no-site-file', but in addition it
also disables the menu-bar, the tool-bar, the scroll-bars, tool
tips, the blinking cursor, and the fancy startup screen.
Could you state precisely which exact docs are you referring to?
`emacs --help' gives:
--quick, -Q equivalent to -q --no-site-file --no-splash
and `(emacs)Initial Options' says:
`-Q'
`--quick'
Start emacs with minimum customizations. This is like using `-q'
and `--no-site-file', but also disables the startup screen.
Since you are apparently using relatively recent CVS:
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600)
of 2005-11-11 on LD1
that is what you should see, unless there is a problem with the way
you updated. But maybe you are referring to some other docs that we
might indeed have overlooked.
Sincerely,
Luc.
