26.3; Elisp manual, `Lambda Components' and `Defining Functions' |

In the Elisp manual, I looked for doc describing a lambda list, to point
a user to it.
I tried `i lambda list', which took me to `Lambda Components'. But
there's nothing there that explains the lambda list
`(ARG-VARIABLES...)'. And no link to any doc that explains/describes
it.
I tried `i defun', which took me to `Defining Functions'. But again,
there's nothing there that explains ARGS (syntax, meanings, etc.). And
no link to any doc that explains/describes that argument list.
Finally, I tried `i arg TAB', and used `argument lists, features', which
took me to `Argument List', which provides the description. This is
also what's typically called a "lambda list", FWIW.
Please provide links from the first two topics to topic `Argument List',
or otherwise provide the missing descriptions of `(ARG-VARIABLES...)'
and ARGS.

Thanks, done.

Fixed.
