* doc/lispref/tips.texi (Comment Tips): Update information on section headings to reflect common usage. Previously the tips stated that if the code is split up into multiple sections, then that should be done by splitting up the ";;; Code:" section into multiple sub-sections. However about half the libraries in Emacs instead use multiple top-level sections. We update the tips (aka conventions) to allow this common usage, but because it is awkward if there is a section named "Code", which contains only some of the code instead of all of it, we now recommend that that section should be empty in this case. We cannot just give up on the "Code:" section/heading because that is an old convention that is followed be nearly every library and because it is likely that there are some utilities out there that depend on its presence. This was discussed in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-07/msg00444.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-08/msg00001.html |

README for 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 help-gnu-emacs mailing list.
* 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 for Info, for printing hardcopy using TeX,
or for HTML.
* 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 <https://shop.fsf.org/>.
(At time of writing, this manual is out of print.)
* 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.
* This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run 'make info'.
** Use 'make elisp.pdf' or 'make elisp.html' to create PDF or HTML versions.
