From f2981a1681d34b145753296e506f4c3ca7cba359 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Porter Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2023 19:59:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Restructure Eshell extension modules documentation This adds a section for documenting all the optional modules. * doc/misc/eshell.texi (Extension modules): Move explanation about writing modules to... (Writing a module): ... here. (Module testing): Remove. Testing an Eshell module doesn't require any special documentation. (Key binding, Smart scrolling, Electric forward slash): Move under... (Optional modules): ... here. (Directory handling, Terminal emulation): Remove. These modules are enabled by default, and so are documented above. (Tramp extensions, Extra built-in commands): New sections. --- doc/misc/eshell.texi | 86 ++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/misc/eshell.texi b/doc/misc/eshell.texi index 456e5c7a1a9..001c96a0bea 100644 --- a/doc/misc/eshell.texi +++ b/doc/misc/eshell.texi @@ -2019,66 +2019,38 @@ at the end of the command are excluded.
