412 If a buffer contains text that is too large to fit entirely within a | |
413 window that is displaying the buffer, Emacs shows a contiguous portion of | |
414 the text. The portion shown always contains point. | |
415 | |
416 @cindex scrolling | |
417 @dfn{Scrolling} means moving text up or down in the window so that | |
418 different parts of the text are visible. Scrolling forward means that text | |
419 moves up, and new text appears at the bottom. Scrolling backward moves | |
420 text down and new text appears at the top. | |
421 | |
422 Scrolling happens automatically if you move point past the bottom or top | |
423 of the window. You can also explicitly request scrolling with the commands | |

508 Another way to do scrolling is with @kbd{C-l} with a numeric argument. | |
509 @kbd{C-l} does not clear the screen when given an argument; it only scrolls | |
510 the selected window. With a positive argument @var{n}, it repositions text | |
511 to put point @var{n} lines down from the top. An argument of zero puts | |
512 point on the very top line. Point does not move with respect to the text; | |
513 rather, the text and point move rigidly on the screen. @kbd{C-l} with a | |
514 negative argument puts point that many lines from the bottom of the window. | |
515 For example, @kbd{C-u - 1 C-l} puts point on the bottom line, and @kbd{C-u | |

588 The command @kbd{C-x <} (@code{scroll-left}) scrolls the selected | |
589 window to the left by @var{n} columns with argument @var{n}. This moves | |
590 part of the beginning of each line off the left edge of the window. | |
591 With no argument, it scrolls by almost the full width of the window (two | |
592 columns less, to be precise). | |
593 | |
594 @kbd{C-x >} (@code{scroll-right}) scrolls similarly to the right. The | |
595 window cannot be scrolled any farther to the right once it is displayed | |
596 normally (with each line starting at the window's left margin); | |
597 attempting to do so has no effect. This means that you don't have to | |
598 calculate the argument precisely for @w{@kbd{C-x >}}; any sufficiently large | |
599 argument will restore the normal display. | |

727 Emacs has the ability to hide lines indented more than a certain number | |
728 of columns (you specify how many columns). You can use this to get an | |
729 overview of a part of a program. | |
730 | |
731 To hide lines, type @kbd{C-x $} (@code{set-selective-display}) with a | |
732 numeric argument @var{n}. Then lines with at least @var{n} columns of | |
733 indentation disappear from the screen. The only indication of their | |
734 presence is that three dots (@samp{@dots{}}) appear at the end of each | |
735 visible line that is followed by one or more hidden ones. | |
736 | |
737 The commands @kbd{C-n} and @kbd{C-p} move across the hidden lines as | |
738 if they were not there. | |
739 | |
740 The hidden lines are still present in the buffer, and most editing | |
741 commands see them as usual, so you may find point in the middle of the | |
742 hidden text. When this happens, the cursor appears at the end of the | |
743 previous line, after the three dots. If point is at the end of the | |
744 visible line, before the newline that ends it, the cursor appears before | |
745 the three dots. | |
746 | |
747 To make all lines visible again, type @kbd{C-x $} with no argument. | |
748 | |
749 @vindex selective-display-ellipses | |
750 If you set the variable @code{selective-display-ellipses} to | |
751 @code{nil}, the three dots do not appear at the end of a line that | |
752 precedes hidden lines. Then there is no visible indication of the | |
753 hidden lines. This variable becomes local automatically when set. | |
