At least describe them once, even if you choose to refer from one doc string to another for some of them. In particular, Emacs 25 apparently added parameter REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P, but there is no description of it. There also seems to be nothing in the Emacs 25 NEWS about query-replacement now being restricted to a rectangular region. That's too bad - doesn't help users as much as they deserve. There also seems to be nothing in the Emacs manual about this feature. Again, too bad.

Looks like this has been fixed by now: --- Non-nil REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P means that the region is composed of noncontiguous pieces. The most common example of this is a rectangular region, where the pieces are separated by newline characters. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Mon Jul 15 15:08:38 2019 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 15 Jul 2019 19:08:38 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:49131 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1hn6L0-0002i7-9K for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 15 Jul 2019 15:08:38 -0400 Received: from quimby.gnus.org ([80.91.231.51]:47536) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1hn6Kx-0002hy-1w for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 15 Jul 2019 15:08:35 -0400 Received: from cm-84.212.202.86.getinternet.no ([84.212.202.86] helo=sandy) by quimby.gnus.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.89) (envelope-from ) id 1hn6Ku-0002KH-Ii for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 15 Jul 2019 21:08:34 +0200 Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 21:08:32 +0200 Message-Id: <87sgr786a7.fsf@mouse.gnus.org> To: control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Lars Ingebrigtsen Subject: control message for bug #27788 X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "quimby.gnus.org", has NOT identified this incoming email as spam.
