227 Giant docstring parameter/Texinfo fixes.
228
229 Don't use abbreviations for English words, especially when those
230 words have other meanings. For example, use START, not BEG.
231 Use OBJECT, not OBJ.
232 Use VALUE, not VAL.
233 Use BUFFER, not BUF.
234 Use PROCESS, not PROC. (Sometimes PROC was used to mean FUNCTION!)
235 Use CHARACTER, not CH or CHR.
236 Use NUMBER, not NUM.
237 Use COLUMN, not COL.
238 Use POSITION, not POS.
239 Use SYMBOL, not SYM.
240 Use STRING, not STR.
241 Use LIMIT, not LIM.
242 Use OTHER-WINDOW-P, not OTHER-P.
243 Use PRIORITY, not PRI.
244
245 Use `non-nil', not `true'.
246
247 Don't call a parameter an ALIST if it can also be a FUNCTION or OBARRAY.
248
249 Use CASE-TABLE, CATEGORY-TABLE, CHAR-TABLE, etc. instead of TABLE.
250
251 Try to find better parameter names than ARG.
252
253 Use consistent parameter names. For example, s/NO-ERROR/NOERROR/g;
254
255 Use type information in parameter names. For example, use
256 (make-bit-vector length bit), not (make-bit-vector length init).
257
258 Completion functions should have parameters with names like
259 PARTIAL-FILENAME instead of the misleading FILENAME.
260
261 Type predicates should consistently take an OBJECT parameter,
262 since any object is valid as input.
263
264 Use WHICH-FRAMES and WHICH-DEVICES parameters consistently for
265 functions like next-window and next-frame that walk over window or
266 frame lists.
267
268 Deleted duplicated documentation for:
269 one-window-p, format-insert-file
270
271 Deleted 21 lines of VMS-specific texinfo documentation.
272
273 Fixed up a few places where `_' was used in docstring parameter
274 names instead of `-'.
275
276 Fixed up places that used nil or t without @code.
277
278 Fixed up places that erroneously used @code instead of @var.
279
280 Fixed many typos.
281
282 Fixed many places where the parameters mentioned in the docstring
283 didn't match the actual parameters.
284
285 Fixed 7 places that used `@var{nil}' instead of `@code{nil}'.
286
287 Fixed 40 places where docstrings were missing trailing `.'
288
289 Fixed the texi documentation of 41 functions where the
290 interactiveness of the function in the documentation did not match
291 the implementation.
292
293 Fixed 117 functions where the names of parameters in the texi was
294 different from the names in the implementation.
295
296 Fixed the texi documentation of 137 functions where the parameter
297 list of the function in the texi was semantically different from
298 the implementation.
299
