RE: Emacs manual node Display Custom should be organized (split) |

This node is a catch-all of options that each have something to do
with display - from `baud-rate' to `ctl-arrow'. The text
runs on, from
one option to the next. Some option descriptions are several
paragraphs each. The result is an unorganized grab bag.
I will split out two large parts into separate nodes.
The rest will still be a grab bag, but not as big a one.
Thanks; that sounds good.
It would be better to try to organize these options somehow, or at
least make it clearer where each begins and ends. Why isn't
the Elisp
manual format used, for instance: `User Option: foobar' followed by
its description? That would organize things better.
@defvar did not exist when the Emacs Manual was first written.
The idea of starting to use it there is one we could think about,
but since it would be a big change in the style, we would need to
think seriously before starting.
I understand.
