The Elisp manual (node Attribute Functions) suggests that face-attribute-relative-p is more or less obsolete, but I don't find anything in the manual that explains what is meant by "relative". What is relative to what, and how are they related? This blurb on face-attribute-relative-p is the most I found concerning "relative", but it doesn't help me:
"VALUE ... is ... relative (that is, if it modifies an underlying or inherited value of ATTRIBUTE)" I don't follow this at all. I don't see any explanation of "underlying", for example. Can this stuff be clarified? I frankly can't make heads nor tails of it. I see "relative" all over the place, but I haven't got a clue what is meant. I suspect it might mean something like "indirect" here (not relative), but I really am not sure what is meant. A simple example should be able to illustrate the meaning. Just as (car (cons x y)) = x shows what car means/does (for a cons), the doc should be able to explain what is meant by "relative" by showing an example. This shouldn't be that hard to communicate. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
