-Emacs 18 does not support use of format-style @samp{%}-sequences in the
-prompt strings in interactive specifications.
-
-@item
-The property @code{enable-recursive-minibuffers} no longer has any
-special meaning.

-@section Removed Features for Reading Input
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-We removed the third argument (@var{meta}) from the function
-@code{set-input-mode}. Consequently, we added the variable
-@code{meta-flag}; set it to @code{t} to enable use of a Meta key, and
-to @code{nil} to disable it. (Those are the only two alternatives.)
-
-@item
-We also removed the variable @code{extra-keyboard-modifiers}.
-
-@item
-We removed the function @code{keyboard-translate} and the variables
-@code{num-input-keys} and @code{function-key-map}.
-@end itemize
-
-@section Removed Syntax Table Features
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-We eliminated the functions @code{skip-syntax-forward},
-@code{skip-syntax-backward}, @code{forward-comment}.
-
-@item
-We removed the syntax flag for ``prefix syntax'' and the flag for the
-alternate comment style. Emacs 18 supports only one style of comment
-in any given syntax table.
-
-@item
-We abolished the variable @code{words-include-escapes}.

-@section The Case Table
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-Case tables do not exist in Emacs 18. Due to this change, we have
-removed the associated functions @code{set-standard-case-table},
-@code{standard-case-table}, @code{current-case-table},
-@code{set-case-table}, and @code{set-case-syntax-pair}.
-@end itemize

-@section Features for Dealing with Buffers
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-We eliminated several functions for dealing with buffers:
-@code{buffer-modified-tick} and @code{generate-new-buffer-name}.
-
-@item
-We renamed @code{buffer-disable-undo} to @code{buffer-flush-undo}---a
-more picturesque name, you will agree.
-
-@item
-The function @code{other-buffer} takes just one argument in Emacs 18.
-
-@item
-The function @code{rename-buffer} now requires you to specify precisely
-the new name you want.
-
-@item
-We removed the local variable @code{list-buffers-directory}.
