Conditionally omit edition numbers, dates in doc

2019-11-12T19:30:02+00:00

This redoes the 2019-11-02T00:24:02!eggert@cs.ucla.edu patch,
updated after consultation with John Sullivan.
Omit printed edition numbers in online manuals while keeping
them in printed manuals.  In online manuals the edition
numbers seem to cause more confusion than they cure; e.g.,
https://shop.fsf.org/books/gnu-emacs-manual-18th-edition-v-261
currently advertises "18th edition" even as it points to
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/pdf/emacs.pdf which
says "Seventeenth Edition".  It is simpler and less confusing
to stick to one version number like "27.0" in online manuals.
For printed manuals people can run, e.g., "texi2any -D
'EDITION Nineteenth'" when generating the 19th printed edition
of the Emacs manual.
* doc/emacs/emacs.texi (EDITION):
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (edition-number, update-date):
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi (VERSION, DATE):
Remove definitions.  Instead, let the person printing the book
specify these values, with the default being the online version
which does not have printed edition numbers.
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (titlepage-edition-number):
New flag, for the edition number as it appears on the title page.

Revert "Omit edition numbers and dates in manuals"

2019-11-02T07:52:39+00:00

This reverts commit 2f42832895942fdeaa0c500511aa19860fa806cd.
Editions of Emacs manuals must be coordinated with the FSF
publishing staff, as they appear on the printed books.

Omit edition numbers and dates in manuals

2019-11-02T00:24:47+00:00

These seem to cause more confusion than they cure; e.g.,
https://shop.fsf.org/books/gnu-emacs-manual-18th-edition-v-261
currently advertises "18th edition" even as it points to
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/pdf/emacs.pdf
which says "Seventeenth Edition".  It is simpler and less
confusing to stick to one version number like "26.3".  If we
need a separate edition number for each printed manual for
some reason (marketing?) we can put “@ifset printed-edition”
around anything specific to the printed editions.
(as opposed to online PDF copies).
