Subject: 29.4; Doc string of `org-indent-mode'
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2024 20:23:59 +0000

Likely applies also to other minor-mode doc strings.

emacs -Q
C-h f org-indent-mode
____

That shows you doc that includes this, where `org-indent-mode' is a link
intended to give you information about the _variable_ of that name:

  To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer,
  evaluate 'org-indent-mode'.

Clicking that link doesn't take you to the _variable_ part of the *Help*
buffer; it just puts you back at the start of the buffer (after
redrawing it uselessly).

It should take you to the description of the variable.  And the sentence
should include the word "variable" before `org-indent-mode'; otherwise,
it makes little sense to speak of evaluating that symbol, and the text
can confuse or mislead users.
