Appendix D. Online Resources

This appendix includes some helpful Emacs web sites. Some of those listed describe add-on packages for Emacs. In some cases, the sites have been stable for years and are likely to remain that way. In other cases, web sites come and go and URLs change. If you find errors in this list or have suggestions for additions, please email us at [e-mail].
