Offline documentation (Org Manual info file) of org hooks is misleading

Offline documentation (Org Manual info file) of org hooks is misleading

[libreville]

Howdy friends,

Chapter A.1 Hooks of the Org Manual reads, in its entirety:

"Org has a large number of hook variables for adding functionality. 
This appendix illustrates using a few.  A complete list of hooks with
documentation is maintained by the Worg project at
<https://orgmode.org/worg/doc.html#hooks>."

(I have the manual for Org 9.3, the online version of the chapter is
newer, but identical at this point.)

Contrary to what it says, I couldn't find any illustrations of hook
usage in the appendix. The Variables index only refers to four, and
they're in other places.

Perhaps the line about illustrating could be deleted, to avoid sending
people on a search for something that isn't there?

Best regards,
libreville

Agree.
Would you be interested to submit a patch?

Here's my attempt.

It's my first time doing this, so kindly let me know if there's
something I can do better!

For example, should I have replaced the subject line of this email with
the subject in the formatted .patch?

Generally, we have instructions in https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#first-patch

Not necessarily. Although, adding [PATCH] to the subject would be
helpful as an indication.

1. I'd add "org-manual: ..." to indicate which part of Org is modified.
2. There is no need to end the subject (first) line with "."
3. You need to add TINYCHANGE cookie, unless you have FSF copyright
   assignment.
4. Changelog entry would be good, although this is a simple patch and we
   can skip it here.

Hope it is going to be a good practice :)

Thanks a lot for the pointers.

I have also fixed the changelog entry and added "." at the end of the
sentence there.
