1.1 Caveats

This manual has gone through numerous drafts. It is nearly complete but not flawless. There are a few topics that are not covered, either because we consider them secondary (such as most of the individual modes) or because they are yet to be written. Because we are not able to deal with them completely, we have left out several parts intentionally.

The manual should be fully correct in what it does cover, and it is therefore open to criticism on anything it says—from specific examples and descriptive text, to the ordering of chapters and sections. If something is confusing, or you find that you have to look at the sources or experiment to learn something not covered in the manual, then perhaps the manual should be fixed. Please let us know.

This manual was originally written for FSF Emacs 19 and was updated by Ben Wing (ben@xemacs.org) for Lucid Emacs 19.10 and later for XEmacs 19.12, 19.13, 19.14, and 20.0. It was further updated by the XEmacs Development Team for 19.15 and 20.1. Then with the fork to SXEmacs it has been reworked by Sebastian Freundt (hroptatyr@sxemacs.org) corresponding to SXEmacs version 22.1. Many of the examples have been updated.
