Hello everyone,

The manual for the calendar in emacs currently contains this paragraph:

   If you want to display numerical time zones (like ‘"+0100"’) instead
of symbolic ones (like ‘"CET"’), set this to ‘numeric’.

But it is nowhere explain what "this" refer to, it is the variable
`calendar-time-zone-style'.

Please find attached to this mail a patch which rephrase the manual to
refer explicitely to `calendar-time-zone-style'.

yes.  Evidently, someone foprgot that @vindex is not shown in the Info
manual.

Thanks, installed on the emacs-29 branch.  I also made a few more
similar changes there.

With that, I'm closing this bug.
