(GET_CHAR_BEFORE_2): Check multibyte, not target_multibyte. Even in a unibyte case, return a converted multibyte char. (GET_CHAR_AFTER): New macro. (PATFETCH): Translate via multibyte char. (HANDLE_UNIBYTE_RANGE): Delete this macro. (SETUP_MULTIBYTE_RANGE): New macro. (regex_compile): Setup compiled code so that its multibyteness matches that of a target. Fix the handling of "[X-YZ]" using SETUP_MULTIBYTE_RANGE. (analyse_first) <charset>: For filling fastmap for all multibyte characters, don't check by BASE_LEADING_CODE_P. (re_search_2): Don't check RE_TARGET_MULTIBYTE_P (bufp). It is the same as RE_MULTIBYTE_P (bufp) now. (mutually_exclusive_p): Check by (! multibyte || IS_REAL_ASCII (c)). (TARGET_CHAR_AND_LENGTH): Delete this macro. (TRANSLATE_VIA_MULTIBYTE): New macro. (re_match_2_internal): Don't check RE_TARGET_MULTIBYTE_P (bufp). It is the same as RE_MULTIBYTE_P (bufp) now. <exactn>: Translate via multibyte. <anychar>: Fetch a character by RE_STRING_CHAR_AND_LENGTH. Don't translate it. <charset, charset_not>: Fetch a character by RE_STRING_CHAR_AND_LENGTH. Translate via multibyte. <duplicate>: Call bcmp_translate with the last arg `multibyte'. <wordbound, notwordbound, wordbeg, wordend, syntaxspec, notsyntaxspec, categoryspec, notcategoryspec> Fetch a character by GET_CHAR_AFTER. (bcmp_translate): Likewise.

README for Edition 2.6 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 elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
