Hello, I don't know if you were notified on this yet, but I received an
email about a typo in the emacs manual. Here is the email. Please let me
know if this is the right email address, and if this has been resolved.

----------------------

 Hello,

I have noticed the following typo in your manual:

Page 150, the last paragraph in Introductory Section of "Using Multiple
Buffers Chapter"
The superscripts are not displayed properly:

1. minimum buffer size is 2^61 -2, should be 2^{61}-2
2. is usually 2^29 -2 should be 2^{29} -2

The typo presents in both electronic copy and printed copy of
GNU Emacs Manual, 17th Edition, v. 24.2


Best,

Evgenii.
