[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Dear Sir,

There is a mistake in GNU Emacs Manual version 25.2, main pdf
version(haven't checked other versions).

On page 339, article 27.12 "Moving over Subdirectories" in Chapter 27
Dired, the last line of article 27.12 states that both < and > starts up
the same command (dired-prev-line), which is not true as I have checked
bindings, and > should start dired-next-dirline. I am attaching screenshot
of my kindle and emacs, which highlights the bug.

Yours respectfully,
Rajat Pundir,
Supporter of FSF.
