[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

The Elisp manual node "(elisp) Interpolated Strings", which documents
the function format-spec and is new in Emacs 27, is currently included
under "(elisp) Text", which opens with:

  This chapter describes the functions that deal with the text in a
  buffer.  Most examine, insert, or delete text in the current buffer,
  often operating at point or on text adjacent to point.  Many are
  interactive.  All the functions that change the text provide for undoing
  the changes (*note Undo).

I think a more appropriate location would be following "(elisp)
Formatting Strings", or at least under "(elisp) Strings and Characters".

Patch for emacs-27 attached.  WDYT?

Thanks,
