 @findex mark-whole-buffer
    Other commands set both point and mark, to delimit an object in the
 buffer.  For example, @kbd{M-h} (@code{mark-paragraph}) moves point to
-the beginning of the paragraph that surrounds or follows point, and puts
-the mark at the end of that paragraph (@pxref{Paragraphs}).  It prepares
-the region so you can indent, case-convert, or kill a whole paragraph.
-The command also accepts a prefix argument.  If the prefix argument
-is positive, @kbd{M-h} marks that many paragraphs, the paragraph
-surrounding point plus some following paragraphs.  If the prefix
-argument is negative, @kbd{M-h} also marks that many paragraphs, but
-the preceding instead of the following paragraphs.  (With a positive
-argument, point is put at the beginning and mark at end, with a
-negative argument, point is at end and mark at the beginning.)

   @kbd{C-M-h} (@code{mark-defun}) similarly puts point before, and the
 mark after, the current (or following) major top-level definition, or
