+@defun replace-region-contents beg end replace-fn &optional max-secs max-costs
This function replaces the region between @code{beg} and @code{end}
using the given @code{replace-fn}. The function @code{replace-fn} is
run in the current buffer narrowed to the specified region and it
should return either a string or a buffer replacing the region.
-The replacement is performed using @code{replace-buffer-contents}
-which also describes the @code{max-secs} and @code{max-costs}
+The replacement is performed using @code{replace-buffer-contents} (see
+above) which also describes the @code{max-secs} and @code{max-costs}
arguments and the return value.
Note: If the replacement is a string, it will be placed in a temporary
Therefore, if you already have the replacement in a buffer, it makes
no sense to convert it to a string using @code{buffer-substring} or
similar.
