+% \mansee \pkg{ekdosis} also provides a two-argument \cs{App} command

+% folding may be needed when readings and critical notes grow in
+% number to a point where the edition text becomes illegible. This

+% \subsection{Using \textsf{emacs}}
+% \label{sec:using-emacs}
+% \pkg{ekdosis} includes an AUC\TeX\ style file that can be used to
+% facilitate the insertion of the many commands it provides.
+%
+% \paragraph{Installation}
+% In what follows, it is assumed that both the \textsf{emacs} text
+% editor\footnote{\url{https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs}} and
+% AUC\TeX%^^A
+% \footnote{\url{https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download.html}}
+% have already been installed.
+% \begin{description}
+% \item[\pkg{ekdosis} Stable]
+%   \begin{enumerate}
+%   \item Download |ekdosis.el| from
+%     CTAN:
+%     \url{https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/luatex/latex/ekdosis}
+%   \item Copy this file to
+%     |$HOME/.emacs.d/auctex/auto/|\footnote{This directory must be
+%     created if need be.}\saveFN\fnAUCTeX\ where |$HOME| stands
+%     for the directory of the current user.
+%   \end{enumerate}
+% \item[\pkg{ekdosis} Development Version]
+%   \begin{enumerate}
+%   \item Download |ekdosis.el| from either
+%     |git.robertaless|\allowbreak|i.net|
+%     (\url{http://git.robertalessi.net/ekdosis/plain/ekdosis.el})
+%     or the |sourcehut| git
+%     repository
+%     (\url{https://git.sr.ht/~ralessi/ekdosis/blob/master/ekdosis.el}).
+%   \item Copy this file to
+%     |$HOME/.emacs.d/auctex/auto/|\useFN\fnAUCTeX\ where |$HOME|
+%     stands for the directory of the current user.
+%   \end{enumerate}
+% \end{description}
+%
+% If desired, |ekdosis.el| can be compiled like so:---
+% 
+% \iffalse
+%<*example>
+% \fi
+\begin{minted}[linenos=false]{bash}
+emacs --batch -f batch-byte-compile ekdosis.el &>/dev/null
+\end{minted}
+% \iffalse
+%</example>
+% \fi
+%
+% This will produce |ekdosis.elc| which can be copied to the same
+% directory as |ekdosis.el|.
+%
+% \paragraph{Code Folding}
+% \phts\label{ref:code-folding}
+% The variant readings and the critical notes can grow in number to a
+% point where they may clutter the source text. As a result, the
+% edition text can become illegible. One way around this difficulty is
+% to use the \textsf{emacs} editor with |ekdosis.el|, the AUC\TeX\
+% style file that is provided with \pkg{ekdosis}, to fold the code so
+% that only the edition text, exclusive of variants and notes, is
+% displayed on the screen.
+%
+% In order to hide all foldable items, |TeX-fold-mode| must first be
+% activated, like so: |C-c| |C-o| |C-f|.\footnote{Menu sequence:
+% \menu{LaTeX>Show/Hide>Fold Mode}} Then |C-c| |C-f| |C-b| can be used
+% to fold the code.\footnote{Menu sequence: \menu{LaTeX>Show/Hide>Hide
