* Quote less in manualsPaul Eggert2015-09-151-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | The manuals often used quotes ``...'' when it is better to use @dfn or @code or capitalized words or no quoting at all. For example, there is no need for the `` and '' in “if a variable has one effect for @code{nil} values and another effect for ``non-@code{nil}'' values”. Reword the Emacs, Lisp intro, and Lisp reference manuals to eliminate unnecessary quoting like this, and to use @dfn etc. instead when called for (Bug#21472).

* Prefer UTF-8 for documentation.Paul Eggert2013-03-041-2/+2
| | | | | With GNU Texinfo 5.0, this generates nicer-looking info files, since they can use curly quotes. With older Texinfo it doesn't matter.

* Fix minor whitespace issues after "." in manual.Paul Eggert2012-12-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Be more systematic about using "@." (not ".") at end of sentence that ends in a capital letter, and about appending "@:" after non-ends of sentences that end in a lower case letter followed by "." followed by whitespace. Omit unnecessary use of "@:" and "@.". Similarly for "?" and "!". Be more consistent about putting a comma after "i.e." and "e.g."; this is the typical American style and it's easier to code in Texinfo. Fixes: debbugs:12973

| * Only print the edition number of the manuals in the TeX versionGlenn Morris2012-05-011-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Frankly, I think the edition conveys little to no information. The version number of Emacs is much more relevant. No-one seems to know what the rules are for updating the edition anyway... * doc/emacs/emacs.texi (@copying): Only print EDITION in the TeX version. * doc/lispref/elisp.texi (@copying): * doc/lispref/intro.texi (Introduction): Only print VERSION in the TeX version.
