I think the problem here is that `org-image-actual-width` is essentially a global solution to a potentially local problem. I can't set `org-image-actual-width` to nil for just one image. > Thanks for continuing with this.

I was torn on this as well. However, I ended up feeling that it would be worse to duplicate the same information in two places. This requires updating the information in two places instead of one, and, worse, the documentation could easily diverge. Because the function isn't public-facing, but the variable very much is, I felt it better just to include the documentation for the variable. I also don't think removing the documentation from the function is that bad. A lot of what that function does is to follow what the variable tells it to do. Again, the function won't be called directly by an end-user, so requiring that the developer refer to other documentation for understanding implementation details seems reasonable. Finally, there are numerous functions in org that tell you to refer to documentation elsewhere (especially defcustoms) for further information. Anyway, I still feel that the earlier patch (before regex changes is the right one). But, if you want me to revert the documentation removal from the function I will. Matt
