   7 * This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Emacs Lisp
   8 Reference Manual.
   9
  10 * Report bugs in the Lisp Manual or in Emacs using M-x report-emacs-bug.
  11 To ask questions, use the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.
  12
  13 * The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
  14 1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total around 3.0 megabytes.
  15
  16 * You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
  17 using TeX.
  18
  19 * You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
  20 Buying a manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
  21 development work.  See <http://shop.fsf.org/>.
  22
  23 * The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
  24 `elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
  25 chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
  26 the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
  27 @titlespec command.
  28
  29 * This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
  30
  31 ** To create a DVI file with a sorted index, run `make elisp.dvi'.
  32
  33 ** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run `make info'.
