   7 * This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Emacs Lisp
   8 Reference Manual.
   9
  10 * Report bugs in the Lisp Manual (or in Emacs) using M-x report-emacs-bug.
  11 To ask questions, use the help-gnu-emacs mailing list.
  12
  13 * The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
  14 1100 pages in smallbook format; the info files total around 3.0 megabytes.
  15
  16 * You can format this manual for Info, for printing hardcopy using TeX,
  17 or for HTML.
  18
  19 * You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
  20 Buying a manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
  21 development work.  See <http://shop.fsf.org/>.
  22 (At time of writing, this manual is out of print.)
  23
  24 * The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called 'elisp.texi'.
  25 It contains @include commands to include all the chapters that make up
  26 the manual.
  27
  28 * This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
  29
  30 ** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run 'make info'.
  31
  32 ** Use 'make elisp.pdf' or 'make elisp.html' to create PDF or HTML versions.
