Update info on C-u C-x =.

46039:3c5d96a2d05f

@xref{Pages}, for the command @kbd{C-x l} which counts the lines in the
current page.

@kindex C-x =
@findex what-cursor-position
  The command @kbd{C-x =} (@code{what-cursor-position}) can be used to find out
the column that the cursor is in, and other miscellaneous information about
point.  It displays a line in the echo area that looks like this:

@smallexample
Char: c (0143, 99, 0x63)  point=21044 of 26883(78%)  column 53 
@end smallexample

character, including the character set name and the codes that
identify the character within that character set; ASCII characters are
identified as belonging to the @code{ascii} character set.  It also
shows the character's syntax, categories, and encodings both
internally in the buffer and externally if you save the file.  It also
shows the character's text properties, if any, and the font used to
display it.

  Here's an example showing the Latin-1 character A with grave accent,
in a buffer whose coding system is @code{iso-2022-7bit}, whose
terminal coding system is @code{iso-latin-1} (so the terminal actually
displays the character as @samp{@`A}), and which has font-lock-mode

  buffer code: 0x81 0xC0
    file code: ESC 2C 41 40 (encoded by coding system iso-2022-7bit)
terminal code: C0

  The command @kbd{C-x =} (@code{what-cursor-position}) shows what
column the cursor is in, and other miscellaneous information about
point and the character after it.  It displays a line in the echo area
that looks like this:

@smallexample

shows the character's text properties (@pxref{Text Properties,,,
elisp, the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}), and any overlays containing it
(@pxref{Overlays,,, elisp, the same manual}).
