insert-before-markers in the "ordinary" filter example, like
internal-default-process-filter does.

Kharlamov <hi-angel@yandex.ru>.

Bug#34858
(cherry picked from commit 10cd65878c)
* doc/misc/nxml-mode.texi (Completion): As of 2016-01-16 "* lisp/nxml:
Use standard completion; it also works for company-mode", completing
an attribute when there is only one candidate inserts both quotes.
Update the example accordingly.
* doc/misc/eieio.texi (Quick Start): Rename the class used in the
example from 'record' to 'person'.

naming a class. Add a missing apostrophe.

setting of a window start position requires to adjust point to
be visible. (Bug#34038)
* doc/lispref/windows.texi (Cyclic Window Ordering): Describe

parameters. Move the detailed description of the

* doc/lispref/searching.texi (Regexp Special): Say that
regular expressions like "[a-m-z]" and "[[:alpha:]-~]" should
be avoided, for the same reason that regular expressions like
"+" and "*" should be avoided: POSIX says their behavior is
undefined, and they are confusing anyway. Also, explain
better what happens when the bound of a range is a raw 8-bit
byte; the old explanation appears to have been obsolete
anyway. Finally, say that ranges like "[\u00FF-\xFF]" that
mix non-ASCII characters and raw 8-bit bytes should be
avoided, since it’s not clear what they should mean.
* src/window.c (Fset_window_margins, Fset_window_fringes)
(Fset_window_scroll_bars): In doc-strings tell that a window
must be large enough to accommodate fringes, sroll bars and

accommodate fringes, sroll bars and margins of the desired
size.
* doc/misc/cc-mode.texi (top level): Using txicommandconditionals to
differentiate between the C and perl versions of Texinfo, create an "ss
index" unless we are both using the C Texinfo and are building the .dvi output
format.
(Config Basics): Work around a perl Texinfo alignment bug by writing a
separate version of an item list structure for this version, simplifying it
considerably.
* doc/lispref/nonascii.texi (Default Coding Systems): Clarify
that the functions in 'auto-coding-functions' are called both
for decoding and for encoding.
* lisp/international/mule.el (auto-coding-functions): Doc fix.
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Example Major Modes): Update code examples
to reflect current state of lisp/textmodes/text-mode.el and

(Completion in Buffers, Programmed Completion): Add to text
that references completion tables a cross-reference to where
"completion table" is described.
(Programmed Completion): Fix the description of
'completion-table-dynamic'. Add more cross-references.
Dear eamcs developers, eshells current documentation first states
that alias definitions are not saved to an alias file, later that
they are saved to an alias file. I tested it and the latter is
correct.
Please find attached a patch which fixes this.
Thanks for working on emacs which is really great, Gregor

counter. Define "previous counter value".
