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