bug#16750: Feedback on the manual

[Gokul Kannan]

Thanks for taking time to write back...

One quick thing anyone could notice is.. You guys have tried to explain the various components of emac without a pic.. A big fail..

The intro part, I mean.. This is buffer, the last line is this, top there is a tool bar.. and so and so.. Users could easily get confused since all they could read is alphabets.. Even if they have emacs opened, it would be little misleading when you say last line.. below line.. and these sort of terms..

And the other thing i already pointed.. wasn't that specific.?  Endless hyperlinks pointing to further pages makes the guide clumsy and spoils the reading experience.

Thanks,

Gokul

It would help if you could provide some specific criticism of specific
parts in the manual that made it hard for you to read it, and
explained why.  That would allow us to improve the manual.

Thanks.
