16: Where can I get documentation on Emacs Lisp? Within Emacs, you can type "C-h f" to get the documentation for a function, "C-h v" for a variable. For more information, obtain the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual. Details on ordering it from FSF are in file etc/ORDERS. The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is also available on-line, in Info format. Texinfo source for the manual (along with pregenerated Info files) is available at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/elisp-manual-19-2.3.tar.gz and all prep mirrors (See question 89 for a list). See question 17 if you want to install the Info files, or question 18 if you want to use the Texinfo source to print the manual yourself. A WWW version of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is available at http://www.cs.indiana.edu/usr/local/www/elisp/lispref/elisp_toc.html
