5 | ** Manuals |
6 | Check cross-references between the manuals (eg from emacs to elisp) | |
332eb5f1 GM |
7 | are correct. You can use something like the following in the info |
8 | directory in the Emacs build tree: | |
9 | ||
10 | emacs -Q --eval "(setq Info-default-directory-list '(\".\"))" \ | |
11 | -f info-xref-check-all | |
10a99e0d GM |
12 | |
13 | make emacs.dvi, elisp.dvi, and deal with any errors (undefined | |
14 | references etc) in the output. Break any overfull lines. | |
15 | Underfull hboxes are not serious, but it can be nice to get rid of | |
16 | them if a simple rephrasing or rearrangement will work. | |
17 | ||
18 | Update the master menu and detailed menu (eg the antinews version). | |
19 | The command texinfo-multiple-files-update can do this, but you | |
20 | probably want to apply the results selectively (eg the current master | |
21 | menu has better line-breaks than the automatic version). It includes | |
22 | the menu-entry name (if there is one) as well as the node name - using | |
23 | only the latter looks better. Also, it doesn't seem to handle nested | |
24 | includes, so will miss edebug.texi etc. | |
25 | ||

26 | Check for widow and orphan lines in the printed manual; make sure all |
27 | the pages really look ok in the manual as formatted. Orphans/widows | |
28 | are cases where the first/last line of a paragraph is on its own at | |
29 | the end/start of a page, or where the last word in a paragraph is on | |
30 | its own at the start of a line. It looks better if you reword/respace | |
31 | things to avoid these. (AFAIK, there is no way to find these except | |
32 | paging through the whole manual.) This should be the very last thing | |
33 | you do, since any change can alter the layout. | |

35 | ** Check the keybindings in the refcards are correct, and add any new ones. |
36 | Regenerate the pdf versions in etc/refcards/. | |
37 | What paper size are the English versions supposed to be on? | |
accc7588 GM |
38 | On Debian testing, the packages texlive-lang-czechslovak and |
39 | texlive-lang-polish will let you generate the cs-* and sk-* pdfs. | |
40 | The Makefile rules did not work for me, I had to use something like: | |
41 | csplain -output-format=pdf cs-refcard | |

64 | ** Does deleting frames run Lisp code? If so, can we get rid of that? |
65 | It is a dangerous design. | |
66 | http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01330.html | |

67 | |
68 | ** Why were the calls to x_fully_uncatch_errors commented out in eval.c? | |

71 | ** rms: gnus-dired.el is a mistake. Those features should not |
72 | be part of Gnus. They should be moved to some other part of Emacs. | |
f8747b72 RS |
73 | rsteib: Gnus dependencies in `gnus-dired.el' (and `mailcap.el') have been |
74 | minimized. I don't know what is left to do here. | |

76 | ** Check for modes which bind M-s that conflicts with a new global binding M-s |
77 | and change key bindings where necessary. The current list of modes: | |
78 | ||
79 | 1. Gnus binds `M-s' to `gnus-summary-search-article-forward'. | |
80 | ||
81 | 2. Minibuffer binds `M-s' to `next-matching-history-element' | |
82 | (not useful any more since C-s can now search in the history). | |
83 | ||
1f9689eb | 84 | 3. `center-line' in Text mode was already moved to the text formatting |
caf857eb JL |
85 | keymap as `M-o M-s' (thus this binding is not necessary any more |
86 | in `nroff-mode-map' too and can be removed now from the nroff mode | |
87 | because it can now use the global key binding `M-o M-s' `center-line'). | |
88 | ||
1f9689eb | 89 | 4. PCL-CVS binds `M-s' to `cvs-status', and log-edit-mode binds it to |
caf857eb JL |
90 | `log-edit-comment-search-forward'. Perhaps search commands |
91 | on the global key binding `M-s' are useless in these modes. | |

117 | period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective | |

118 | language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions", |
119 | likewise in the respective language. | |
