From: Philip Rooke @ 2010-07-15 15:26 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: emacs-orgmode

This patch makes some straightforward corrections to a number of
docstrings.  Each change is normally to:

- correct a typo, or
- fix up hyperlinks to function or variable names, or
- ensure slightly better conformance with the documentation guidelines
  and tips given in the Elisp manual

No attempt is made to provide missing docstrings or document arguments.

Cheers,

Phil
