bug#47416: Strange sentence in documentation of 'insert-file-contents'


From: Gregory Heytings
Subject: bug#47416: Strange sentence in documentation of 'insert-file-contents'
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2021 18:34:09 +0000



The last paragraph/sentence in the documentation of 'insert-file-contents' is:

In addition, this function decodes the inserted text from known formats by calling `format-decode', which see.

It looks like there is something wrong about this sentence.

"... which see." — See what?

The sentence was introduced by commit bb085aed9593 (2012-12-21).


See the Emacs manual Glossary: q.v. Short for "quod vide" in Latin, which means "which see". There are about 400 occurrences of "which see" in the Emacs documentation, it means "look at the documentation of the previous word/function to find more information".
