Subject: 25.1.50; Bad input method description with spurious \= escapes
Date: Tue, 05 Jan 2016 09:53:43 +0100

I get the following for the French postfix input method:

Input method: french-postfix (mode line indicator:FR<)

French (Français) input method with postfix modifiers

\=` pour grave, \=' pour aigu, ^ pour circonflexe, et " pour tréma.
Par exemple: a\=` -> à   e\=' -> é.


I think that the `\=' are spurious, these escapes were added for
docstrings, but they seem to be irrelevant for input method
descriptions.

  Vincent.
