Subject: minor documentation change suggestion
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:22:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y6mmy4gg.wl%ucecesf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)

Carsten et al.,

As always with org-mode, it does more than I could expect!  I was
writing some code to create org mode files which would have links to
an external file.  I wanted to link to a specific line number in that
file so added "::NNN" (where NNN would be the line number) and thought
I would have to make some changes to org-mode to support this.  Well,
of course I didn't have to make any changes!  It's already there.

However, the documentation is behind as a result.  Can I suggest you
add a line, such as below?
