Hraban,

You seems to be assuming that the prerequisite of "try to figure out" has
been satisfied.  If only.


On the wiki, the "See also" section allows links to other commands and the
source code.  But if one edits the wiki page one notices there is an option
for "PDF manual", I have not noticed such a reference in any wiki page I've
read.

As an example, in another message today, you referred to
        lowlevel-buffers.pdf
(Thanks for that pointer!)

I feel this would be a prime piece of information for the wiki pages
concerned with buffers.  I just added it to \definebuffer, but it could be
added to all(?) the command/<anything>buffer wiki pages.
(...So many wiki pages, so little time...)

Might I politely suggest the following to everyone here:

If you are editing a wiki page and you know one of the manuals is a
relevant reference for the topic on that page, would you be so kind as to
add that, while you are there anyway?


Cheers.
                                Jim
