Subject: (easy-mmode-pretty-mode-name): Explain
X-Git-Tag: ttn-vms-21-2-B4~464
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6469973d4a91ec2a80b0a6abd176892874e1f9b;p=emacs.git

(easy-mmode-pretty-mode-name): Explain
more about the LIGHTER arg's usage in the doc string.  Add
commentary to clarify what the code does.  Fix the regexp that
strips whitespace from LIGHTER.  Quote LIGHTER before using it,
since it could have characters special to regular expressions.
