Whish: Add info about toggle-truncate-lines in Info


From: Alf-Ivar Holm
Subject: Whish: Add info about toggle-truncate-lines in Info
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 10:12:06 +0200

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.6.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
 of Mon Mar 27 2000 on serum.osc.no
configured using `configure  --prefix=/local/gnu 
--infodir=/local/gnu/share/info'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I have the habit of forgetting the name of the command
`toggle-truncate-lines'.  This time, instead of yelling out the
corridor to the next office to know the name of this, I thought that
the command surely had to be decribed in Emacs' info pages.  (I do
consider myself as a competent emacs user, and I should therefore be
able to find this information.)  I found the node "Continuation Lines"
quite easily, but the closest thing I found there was a description
about the variable `truncate-lines'.  So, with a lack of imagination,
I had to yell again ...

So, is it possible to add something about `toggle-truncate-lines' in
the aforementioned info page?  E.g. changing the sentence:

    You can enable truncation for a particular buffer by setting the
    variable `truncate-lines' to non-`nil' in that buffer.

to something like:

    You can enable truncation for a particular buffer either by using
    the command `M-x toggle-truncate-lines' or by setting the variable
    `truncate-lines' to non-`nil' in that buffer, which is just what
    the command is doing.

And, maybe add a reference to the command in the description of
`truncate-lines', unless that is in some way breaks with the emacs
variable descriptions style?

Thank you!

         Affi
