Subject: 26.3; Document text-terminal (non)support of pixel-relevant features
Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2022 16:25:12 +0000

I tried to help with this user question:

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/70231/105

I'm no expert on this.  I guessed that Emacs in terminal mode can't
support most pixel-level operations.

I wanted to point the user to the Emacs manual about this.  I tried to
find info about it with `i' using keyword `terminal' (even with
substring matching for completions).  I found nothing.  Likewise, with
keyword `pixel'.

I then used `C-s' to search the manual for `terminal', with no luck.  I
then tried searching the manual for `pixel'.  The only relevant info I
found was Glossary entry Text Terminal.

Assuming I just searched poorly, please consider adding some index
entries for this information.  If the info is missing, apart from that
caveat in the Glossary, please consider adding some relevant info.
