51.4 Garbage in the Text
If C-l shows that the text is wrong, first type C-h l
(view-lossage
) to see what commands you typed to produce the
observed results. Then try undoing the changes step by step using
C-x u (undo
), until it gets back to a state you consider
correct.
If a large portion of text appears to be missing at the beginning or
end of the buffer, check for the word ‘Narrow
’ in the mode line.
If it appears, the text you don’t see is probably still present, but
temporarily off-limits. To make it accessible again, type C-x n
w (widen
). See Narrowing.
