(type-break-post-command-hook) (type-break-warning-countdown-string): Quote variable names in doc. (type-break-interval-start, type-break-auto-save-file-name): New defvars. (type-break-mode): Document type-break-good-break-interval and the "session" file. Schedule break according to the session file. Kill session file buffer on exit. Organise for save-some-buffers to always save the session file. (type-break-mode-line-message-mode, type-break-query-mode): Uppercase arguments. (type-break-file-time, type-break-file-keystroke-count, timep) (type-break-choose-file, type-break-get-previous-time) (type-break-get-previous-count): New defuns. (type-break): Avoid break querying after a completed break in the case where the query was initiated during user invocation of the break. Optional terse messages. Use type-break-good-break-interval if type-break-good-rest-interval is nil. File the break time. (type-break-schedule): New optional args for overriding the use of the current time. (type-break-cancel-time-warning-schedule): Avoid leftover warnings after a break. (type-break-check): File the keystroke count. (type-break-do-query): Prevent a second query when the break is interrupted. Optional terse message. (type-break-keystroke-reset): Record the start of a typing interval. (type-break-demo-boring): Optional terse messages. Display word per minute and keystroke counts according to type-break-demo-boring-stats.

README for Edition 2.8 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
980 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost
2.5 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:

% ./configure
% 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
`./configure' and `make info'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
