The GNU Emacs FAQ
*****************
This is the GNU Emacs FAQ.
This FAQ is maintained as a part of GNU Emacs. If you find any
errors, or have any suggestions, please use ‘M-x report-emacs-bug’ to
report them.
This is the version of the FAQ distributed with Emacs 25.3, and
mainly describes that version. Although there is some information on
older versions, details about very old releases (now only of historical
interest) have been removed. If you are interested in this, consult
either the version of the FAQ distributed with older versions of Emacs,
or the history of this document in the Emacs source repository.
Since Emacs releases are very stable, we recommend always running the
latest release.
This FAQ is not updated very frequently. When you have a question
about Emacs, the Emacs manual is often the best starting point.

This list of frequently asked questions about GNU Emacs with
answers (“FAQ”) may be translated into other languages, transformed
into other formats (e.g., Texinfo, Info, WWW, WAIS), and updated
with new information.
The same conditions apply to any derivative of the FAQ as apply to
the FAQ itself. Every copy of the FAQ must include this notice or
an approved translation, information on who is currently
maintaining the FAQ and how to contact them (including their e-mail
address), and information on where the latest version of the FAQ is
archived (including FTP information).
The FAQ may be copied and redistributed under these conditions,
except that the FAQ may not be embedded in a larger literary work
unless that work itself allows free copying and redistribution.
[This version has been heavily edited since it was included in the
Emacs distribution.]
