This is normal: the printed version of the manual omits some of the
material, to make the printed book smaller and less expensive. You
are well advised to use an on-line version, either HTML or the Info
version (the latter is part of a standard Emacs installation).

I think you are looking for the answer in the wrong manual. You
should look in the ELisp Reference manual, there's a section there
named "Expansion of a Macro Call".
