* Improve ‘equal’ and array docPaul Eggert2019-06-271-6/+9
| | | | | | | * doc/lispref/objects.texi (Array Type): Array sizes are nonnegative fixnums, not arbitrary integers. (Equality Predicates): Do not say that ‘eq’ equals ‘=’ on bignums. Do not imply that ‘equal’ must signal an error on circular lists.

* | | | | Quote less in manualsPaul Eggert2015-09-151-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The manuals often used quotes ``...'' when it is better to use @dfn or @code or capitalized words or no quoting at all. For example, there is no need for the `` and '' in “if a variable has one effect for @code{nil} values and another effect for ``non-@code{nil}'' values”. Reword the Emacs, Lisp intro, and Lisp reference manuals to eliminate unnecessary quoting like this, and to use @dfn etc. instead when called for (Bug#21472).
