commit 1d6e5622c2639bd511fc3a95bfb5942bbdc5ceff
Author: Eli Zaretskii <address@hidden>
Commit: Andrew G Cohen <address@hidden>
More minor changes in the manual
* doc/emacs/display.texi (Useless Whitespace): Don't upcase "TAB"
and "SPC" when alluding to characters. Suggested by Richard
Stallman <address@hidden>.
* doc/emacs/buffers.texi (Misc Buffer): Clarify what "read-only"
means for buffers.
(Buffers): Define and describe "buffer contents". Suggested by
Richard Stallman <address@hidden>. (Bug#30685)
