emacs - Where is the convention to mark a symbol with `<symbol>' in comments comes from? -


i see both in man page , in emacs lisp doc string, looks convention; there formal document that?

what contexts should follow rule?

@lawlist has answered wrt can find doc this.

the reason convention allows code composes buffer recognize things are: variables, functions, macros, keys, etc., , put links on them take other buffers. without convention more problematic trying determine whether foo refers variable foo, function foo etc.
