Be more systematic about using "@." (not ".") at end of sentence that
ends in a capital letter, and about appending "@:" after non-ends of
sentences that end in a lower case letter followed by "." followed by
whitespace. Omit unnecessary use of "@:" and "@.". Similarly for "?"
and "!". Be more consistent about putting a comma after "i.e." and
"e.g."; this is the typical American style and it's easier to code in
Texinfo.
Fixes: debbugs:12973
* objects.texi (General Escape Syntax): Clarify the explanation of
escape sequences.
(Non-ASCII in Strings): Clarify when a string is unibyte vs
multibyte. Hex escapes do not automatically make a string multibyte.
* doc/lispref/advice.texi (Defining Advice): Clarify ad-unadvise.
(Activation of Advice): Specifying the ACTIVATE flag in defadvice
is not abnormal.
(Advising Primitives): Node deleted; ad-define-subr-args has been
removed.
* doc/lispref/compile.texi (Speed of Byte-Code): Use float-time in example.
(Compilation Functions): Note that the log uses Compilation mode.
Don't discuss the contents of byte-code function object here.
(Compilation Functions): De-document internal function byte-code.
(Docs and Compilation): Minor clarifications.
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Byte-Code Type): Add xref to Byte-Code Function
Objects.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/advice.el: Update commentary to reflect deletion of
ad-define-subr-args
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Variables, Local Variables, Void Variables):
Edit to make the descriptions less specific to dynamic binding.
(Local Variables): Default max-specpdl-size is now 1300.
(Defining Variables): Edits for lexical scoping. Delete
information about starting docstrings with *. De-document
user-variable-p.
(Tips for Defining): Remove an unimportant discussion of quitting
in the middle of a load.
(Accessing Variables, Setting Variables): Discuss lexical binding.
(Variable Scoping): Rewrite.
(Scope, Extent, Impl of Scope): Nodes deleted.
(Dynamic Binding): New node, with material from Scope, Extent, and
Impl of Scope nodes.
(Dynamic Binding Tips): Rename from Using Scoping.
(Lexical Binding): Rewrite.
(Using Lexical Binding): Rename from Converting to Lexical
Binding. Convert to subsection.
* doc/lispref/customize.texi (Variable Definitions): Add custom-variable-p.
Move user-variable-p documentation here.
* doc/lispref/intro.texi (A Sample Function Description): Special notation
used for macros too.
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Ctl-Char Syntax, Other Char Bits): Copyedits.
(Symbol Type): Add xref for keyword symbols.
(Sequence Type): Clarify differences between sequence types.
(Cons Cell Type): Add "linked list" index entry.
(Non-ASCII in Strings): Copyedits.
(Equality Predicates): Symbols with same name need not be eq.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics): Document isnan, copysign, frexp and
ldexp. Move float-e and float-pi to Math Functions node.
* doc/emacs/misc.texi (emacsclient Options): Document server-port.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Progress): Document spinner functionality.
* doc/lispref/frames.texi (Layout Parameters): The defaults for the
menu-bar-lines and tool-bar-lines parameters depend on the mode.
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Symbol Type): Document ## print representation.
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Killing Emacs): Note that kill-emacs can be called by
operating system signals. Refer to save-buffers-kill-terminal
instead of save-buffers-kill-emacs.
(Frame Configuration Type): Emphasize that it is not primitive.
(Font Type): New node.
(Type Predicates): Add fontp; type-of now recognizes font object types.
