(check_composing_code): Fix previous change. Now it alwasy returns 0 or -1. (decode_coding_iso2022): Adjusted for the above change. (encode_coding_iso2022): When encoding the last block, flush out tailing garbage bytes. (setup_coding_system): Delete unnecessary code. (shrink_decoding_region): Check translation table. If ASCII should be translated, give up shrinking. (shrink_encoding_region): Likewise. (SHRINK_CONVERSION_REGION_THRESHHOLD): New macro. (SHRINK_CONVERSION_REGION): New macro. (code_convert_region): Call SHRINK_CONVERSION_REGION. Delete text properties here. (code_convert_region): In the case of encoding, always calulate correct character number. (code_convert_string): Call SHRINK_CONVERSION_REGION. (code_convert_region1): Don't delete text properties here. (check_composing_code): Fix previous change. Now it alwasy returns 0 or -1.

README for Edition 2.5 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run `make install'.
