The section about "Rx Notation" in doc/lispref/searching.texi is embedded with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@ifnottex
@node Rx Notation
@subsection The @code{rx} Structured Regexp Notation
...
@end ifnottex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The commit message of ac1ad3e49abd, which brought it to the manual,
claims

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    The additions are excluded from the print version to avoid making it
    thicker.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So it isn't a bug. Closing.

> All the best

Best regards, Michael.
