80 | This manual contains detailed information about various features that | |
81 | are too specialized to be included in the printed Emacs manual. It is | |
82 | intended to be readable by anyone having a basic knowledge of Emacs. | |
83 | However, certain sections may be intended for a more specialized | |
84 | audience, such as Elisp authors. This should be clearly pointed out | |
85 | at the beginning of these sections. | |
86 | ||

87 | @c Note to authors - you need to be careful about cross-references to |
88 | @c topics in the Emacs manual. As a printed document, the xtra files | |
89 | @c are separate from the Emacs manual; but as an info document, they | |
90 | @c are part of the Emacs manual. Hence you need to use something like: | |
91 | @c @iftex | |
92 | @c @ref{Comparing Files,,, emacs, the Emacs Manual}, | |
93 | @c @end iftex | |
94 | @c @ifnottex | |
95 | @c @ref{Comparing Files}, | |
96 | @c @end ifnottex | |

98 | Certain packages (or collections of related features) have their own | |
99 | manuals, separate from the main Emacs manual. This manual is | |
8cf51b2c | 100 | intended as a complement, rather than an alternative, to reading those |
897f8093 GM |
101 | additional manuals. In a nutshell, it is a collection of smaller |
102 | specialized features (or extra detail about standard features), too | |
103 | small or too obscure to justify their own manual, or inclusion in the | |
104 | printed Emacs manual. The chapters in this manual are, however, | |
105 | included (at the relevant places) in the main Emacs manual when it is | |
106 | formatted as an Info document. | |
8cf51b2c GM |
107 | |
108 | Sections intended specifically for Elisp programmers can follow the | |
109 | style of the Elisp manual. Other sections should follow the style of | |
110 | the Emacs manual. | |
