 analyze the line, determining the @dfn{syntactic component list} of the

 of information (in lisp parlance, a @emph{cons cell}), where the first
 part is a @dfn{syntactic symbol}, and the second part is a @dfn{relative
 buffer position}.  Syntactic symbols describe elements of C code
 Conceptually, a line of C code is always indented relative to the
 indentation of some line higher up in the buffer.  This is represented
 by the relative buffer position in the syntactic component.

 Various commands are provided which allow you to conveniently re-indent
 C constructs.  There are several things to
 note about these indentation commands.  First, when you
 change your programming style, either interactively or through some
 other means, your file does @emph{not} automatically get re-indented.

 Also, except as noted below, re-indentation is always driven by the
 same mechanisms that control on-the-fly indentation of code.  @xref{New

 @findex tab-to-tab-stop
 To indent a single line of code, use @kbd{TAB}
 (@code{c-indent-command}).  The behavior of this command is controlled
 by the variable @code{c-tab-always-indent}.  When this variable is
 @code{t}, @kbd{TAB} always just indents the current line.  When
-@code{nil}, the line is indented only if point is at the left margin, or
+@code{nil}, the line is indented only if Point is at the left margin, or

 number of spaces, depending on the setting of the variable
 @code{indent-tabs-mode}.  If you preferred, you could set
 @code{c-insert-tab-function} to @code{tab-to-tab-stop} for example.}.
 If the value of @code{c-tab-always-indent} is something other than
 @code{t} or @code{nil} (e.g. @code{'other}), then a real tab
 character@footnote{The caveat about @code{indent-tabs-mode} in the

 ``hanginess'' can also be determined by custom functions associated with

 combination of the symbols @code{before} and @code{after} (see

 Most syntactic symbol names follow a general naming convention.  When a

 is that they continue an argument list, but that the line containing the
 parenthesis that opens the list is @emph{not empty} following the open
 parenthesis.  Contrast this against lines 6 and 13 which are assigned
 @code{arglist-cont} syntax.  This is because the parenthesis that opens

 Note that there is no @code{arglist-open} syntax.  This is because any
 parenthesis that opens an argument list, appearing on a separate line,
