Bug - Emacs Manual, Regexps node

Subject: Bug - Emacs Manual, Regexps node

Hello,

At the bottom of the Regexps node of the Emacs manual, the last paragraph
contains the phrase "and 'C-j' to enter a newline."

On my copy of Emacs, this does not work when entering regexps
interactively in the minibuffer.  If I enter 'C-j' in the minibuffer, it
does the same thing as hitting 'Enter'.  To insert a newline interactively
into the regexp in the minibuffer, I need to enter 'C-q C-j'.

For this reason, I think the phrase should read "and 'C-q C-j' to enter a
newline."

I am reporting this as a bug because I had a hard time finding out how to
enter a newline into a regexp from the manual.

Thanks,

John
