 ** Emacs now uses the XDG convention for init files.
-For example, it looks for init.el in ~/.config/emacs/init.el.
-Emacs continues to look for init files in their traditional locations
-if ~/.config/emacs does not exist.  The XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment
-variable (default ~/.config) specifies the parent directory of these
-configuration files, so invoking Emacs with XDG_CONFIG_HOME='/nowhere'
-might be useful if your new-location init files are scrambled.
+For example, it looks for init.el in ~/.config/emacs/init.el, and

+The XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable (which defaults to ~/.config)

+~/.emacs.d, etc.).

+under XDG_CONFIG_HOME for some other reason.
