Although the manual was correct as it was, it could be written to avoid the need 
for the quotes, and this should help avoid confusion like the problem Drew 
reported.  I went through the Emacs, Elisp, and Elisp intro manuals looking for 
this sort of problem and fixed the ones that I found in commit 
ef7dbdf5873bf0a1f3f0e64e5d019e74d5b15b9e.  The sentence Drew mentioned now looks 
like this:

Emacs handles three different conventions for how to separate lines in a file: 
newline (Unix), carriage-return linefeed (DOS), and just carriage-return (Mac).

which avoids the quoting issue entirely.
