Re: `whitespace-describe' function missing

[Robert J. Chassell]

   I'm not sure which version of whitespace.el you are using...

    ;; $Id: whitespace.el,v 1.22 2002/12/03 00:10:40 schwab Exp $

Hah!  The log says that the function was removed on 2002/09/11.  
I should have read the log earlier.  My mistake.

Here is the log entry:

 revision 1.20
 date: 2002/09/11 21:30:25;  author: monnier;  state: Exp;  lines: +62 -87
 (whitespace-global-mode): Use define-minor-mode.  Use the new file hook names.
 (whitespace-describe): Remove.  Move the text to `Commentary:'.
 (whitespace-unload-hook): Use the new file hook names.

That is why the function is not in the in the current CVS instance of
the whitespace.el file, which is

    ;; $Id: whitespace.el,v 1.22 2002/12/03 00:10:40 schwab Exp $


Incidentally, while you could re-include your function definition of
`whitespace-describe' in the CVS, it is surprising to see
documentation like that.  I would expect to see the full documentation
in the documentation strings of:

    whitespace-buffer
    whitespace-region
    whitespace-cleanup

as well as in the commentary and in the Texinfo documentation.
