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

Package: emacs

Hello,

I have spotted a duplicate table item in the elisp manual:

2.2 Special Read Syntax
=======================
...
‘#@N’
     Skip the next ‘N’ characters (*note Comments::).
...
‘#@N’
     Skip the next ‘N’ characters (*note Comments::).  This is used in
     byte-compiled files, and is not meant to be used in Emacs Lisp
     source files.

The attached patch removes the first occurrence.

Thanks, I installed this on the emacs-27 branch, with some minor
fixups of the commit log message.  Please look at the log message I
pushed and try following our style in the future (you will find
details about the style in CONTRIBUTE).
