Unclear explanation in the "Select Tags Table" part of the manual |
|

Steps to reproduce the problem:
emacs -Q
Eval (info "(emacs) Select Tags Table")
The manual says at the beginning:
"Emacs has at any time at most one “selected” tags table. All the
commands for working with tags tables use the selected one."
But then, later on, it says:
"The tags commands use all the tags tables
in the current list. If you start a new list, the new tags table is
used _instead_ of others. If you add the new table to the current list,
it is used _as well as_ the others."
Doesn't this sound like a contradiction? I think the first sentence
should say there's at most one selected "tags table _list_", right?
Thanks.

Ok, so I'm closing this bug.
Thanks.
