README for Edition 3.0 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Emacs Lisp
Reference Manual.
* Report bugs in the Lisp Manual or in Emacs using M-x report-emacs-bug.
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 around 3.0 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.
Buying a manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work. See <http://shop.fsf.org/>.
* 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.
* This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
** To create a DVI file with a sorted index, run `make elisp.dvi'.
** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run `make info'.
