Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Currently I'm reading NEWS.28 and noticed this section marked by
+++ as documented in the manual:
+++
** New user option 'next-error-message-highlight'.
In addition to a fringe arrow, 'next-error' error may now optionally
highlight the current error message in the 'next-error' buffer.
This user option can be also customized to keep highlighting on all
visited errors, so you can have an overview what errors were already visited.
But the source of the manual has only these two lines:
@findex next-error-message
@vindex next-error-message-highlight
'next-error-message' is a face and can be removed from the index.
But 'next-error-message-highlight' is a user option, and when
the reader selects it from the Info index, its page says nothing
about this option. This patch fills the gap:

Does that option need to be documented in the manual? It sounds quite
obscure to me.

It's on a par with next-error-highlight and next-error-highlight-no-select:
- next-error-highlight and next-error-highlight-no-select are applied
to the buffer visited by next-error;
- next-error-message-highlight highlighting is applied to the buffer
with error messages and matches.

So maybe none of them needs to be in the manual.

I have no opinion whether they need to be in the manual,
so just fixed the problem of missing text for the existing vindex.

I noticed this entry has neither +++ nor --- indication in NEWS.28:
*** The tab bar now supports more mouse commands.
Clicking 'mouse-2' closes the tab, 'mouse-3' displays the context menu
with items that operate on the clicked tab. Dragging the tab with
'mouse-1' moves it to another position on the tab bar. Mouse wheel
scrolling switches to the previous/next tab, and holding the Shift key
during scrolling moves the tab to the left/right.
Should it be documented in the manual?

The first few issues seem so self-evident that they don't need to be in
the manual. But the mouse wheel and shift key thing perhaps should be?

Yes, probably.

I added the description as short as possible, without tables and indexes,
so maybe this is ok.
