24.2.50; doc fix for (info "(emacs)Disabled Transient Mark") |

Hi,
Here is a couple of fixes for info node "(emacs)Disabled Transient Mark":
1. The paragraph [a] should be removed, since it describes a behavior
that does not depend on transient mark mode being disabled.
2. The paragraph [b] is not accurate, since it doesn't mention that
the point and mark are exchanged.
[a]
* Many commands that move point long distances, like `M-<' and
`C-s', first set the mark where point was.
[b]
`C-u C-x C-x'
Activate the mark and enable Transient Mark mode temporarily, until
the mark is next deactivated. (This is the `C-x C-x' command,
`exchange-point-and-mark', with a prefix argument.)
