Subject: 26.1; Missing documentation for minor mode hook behavior
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 10:13:08 +0100

--text follows this line--

I couldn't find essential information about minor mode hooks behavior, namely that "The minor mode's hook is called both when activating and deactivating the minor mode" (as stated here: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/47092/17425).

It isn't mentioned in the manual (sections "Minor Modes" and "Hooks"), nor in the docstring for `add-hook' function.

Please consider adding this information in the relevant sections of the docs.
Thank you.
