I've now reviewed all these changes (there were a lot more of them
than just the two you found), and discovered that they were due to a
dangerous editing by admin/admin.el which was already removed as part
of fixing bug#72761.

So I have fixed the affected HTML files manually, and I'm therefore
closing this bug.  Thank you for drawing our attention to this issue.

Hello,

While checking a few manuals to improve the main stylesheet [0], I
noticed a bug in the EasyPG Assistant manual: the first Lisp example is
blank! After fixing the markup, this example is displayed normally
(compare the attached screenshots).

The MH-E manual has the same error. I didn't check the other Emacs
manuals.

emacs-manual.patch (attached) fixes the markup.

[ By the way, the MH-E manual says it was last updated on 2016-04-29,
but the copyright line is:
Copyright © 1995, 2001—2003, 2005—2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ]

Best,
Thérèse

Suggestions to improve this stylesheet are appreciated.
