I haven't noted that he changed from the first version I checked:
! (with-temp-buffer
! (insert-file-contents tut nil 0 80)
! (buffer-substring (point-min) (progn (end-of-line)
(point)))))
I agree with you:
* The first line must be used entirely for "Emacs Tutorial", no more no
less.
* It will be centered, the position of where it is may and will vary
from file to file.
* The code must strip whitespace from the beginning and end, and make
sure in all cases it's getting only the title (Emacs Tutorial).
* Since only the first line is valuable for the code, it can be followed
by an empty line (eye candy purposes).
