Subject: Re: BUG? line("'A") always returns line number in all the files
To: Bram Moolenaar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Yes, it is! Sorry for the misinformation.
BTW, there's a mistake in the document, about col() function, the line
"To get the line number use |col()|."
^^^
should be
"To get the line number use |line()|."

This is actually documented. The idea is that you can use line("'A") to
check if the mark 'A is set. To find out what buffer the mark refers to
use the getpos() function.
