* doc/emacs/text.texi (Text): Rearrange text for clarity. Add cross-reference to the Org manual. Make the cross-reference to Outline Mode appear in online manuals as well (the conditional was a forgotten remnant from time immemoriam). (Paragraphs): Add a note that 'paragraph-start' and 'paragraph-separate' should not be anchored. (Auto Fill): Remove redundant text. Suggested by Petteri Hintsanen <petterih@iki.fi> in emacs-manual-bugs@gnu.org.
