+        * emacs-lisp-intro.texi: Apply similar formatting changes as for
+        the emacs and lispref manuals, to save pages.  A couple minor
+        rewordings and reformatting of code to avoid overfull and
+        underfull lines. 
+        (edition-number): bump to 3.08.
+        (update-date): bump to 4 October 2008.
