I wanted to read the Ido documentation offline from Emacs.
I read in the NEWS
file of Emacs 24.5 that since the 24.4 version an "Ido user manual is now included" (line 608). But it was not possible to find anything in the main manual about Ido.
Then, after searching more, I found out that the info-display-manual
command made possible to reach the ido
manual. I also found later that it was listed in the INFO tree (M-x info-directory
).
I admit that I should have known more about how to access info-display-manual
and the INFO tree, but why these kind of packages (part of the vanilla Emacs) are not linked in the main manual (as far as I know)?
M-x info emacs
` and didn't know there was an upper directory (M-x info ret
). Sorry, I wasn't very aware of theInfo
usage, maybe because I used mostly a paper manual until there.info-emacs-manual
,C-h r
.info-emacs-manual
