(defgroup grep): Doc fix. (grep-auto-highlight): Remove. (grep-template): New defcustom. (grep-find-template): Rename from grep-tree-template. (grep-files-aliases): Rename from grep-tree-files-aliases. Remove "all" alias, add "l" alias. (grep-tree-ignore-case, grep-tree-ignore-CVS-directories): Remove. (grep-find-ignored-directories): New defcustom to replace grep-tree-ignore-CVS-directories, to facilitate ignoring subdirectories for multiple version control systems. (grep-mode-map): Add Recursive grep item to GREP menu. (grep-regexp-history, grep-files-history): New defvars. (grep-probe): New helper function. (grep-compute-defaults): Use it to simplify code. Adapt to name changes. Use `.' as base in grep-find-template rather than <D>. (grep): Remove superfluous highlight-regexp arg. Fix doc. Call grep-compute-defaults unconditionally. (grep-expand-keywords): New defconst. (grep-expand-template): Rename from grep-expand-command-macros. Simplify via grep-expand-keywords. Look at case-fold-search instead of grep-tree-ignore-case to add -i option. Bind case-fold-search to nil while matching keywords. (grep-tree-last-regexp, grep-tree-last-files): Remove. (grep-read-regexp, grep-read-files): New helper functions. (rgrep): Rename from grep-tree. Rework to use proper histories. Adapt to changes in defcustoms and functions above. (lgrep): New command, as grep, but using same interactive api as rgrep.

README for Edition 2.9 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
1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total over
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'.
