* Revert "Decrease use of the word "Emacsen" in docs"Stefan Kangas2022-10-011-1/+1
| | | | | | This reverts commit 55f46cc77cb9d72fbabadb63d8aeab45c5e005e2. Ref. https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2022-10/msg00016.html
* Decrease use of the word "Emacsen" in docsStefan Kangas2022-10-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Emacsen" is either a less clear way of saying "old versions of Emacs", or an implicit reference to XEmacs. We recommend against using it in the FAQ. So use the more clear wording instead. * doc/misc/gnus.texi (Oort Gnus): * doc/misc/widget.texi (Basic Types, toggle): * lisp/cedet/semantic/bovine/c.el (semantic-c-skip-conditional-section): * lisp/cedet/semantic/wisent/comp.el (wisent-compile-grammar): * lisp/desktop.el (desktop-save): * lisp/erc/erc-compat.el: * lisp/erc/erc-log.el: * lisp/gnus/gnus-util.el (gnus-replace-in-string): * lisp/mail/footnote.el: * lisp/net/tramp-archive.el: * lisp/net/tramp-smb.el: * lisp/net/tramp-uu.el: * lisp/net/tramp.el: (with-tramp-locked-connection): * lisp/org/ol-eww.el: * lisp/org/org-compat.el: (org-define-error): * lisp/shadowfile.el: * lisp/winner.el: Don't use the word "Emacsen".
