From 17ec7a0c875014e5322f6098dcd2014072cde9d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Théo Zimmermann Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 14:23:23 +0200 Subject: Improve the documentation of eauto. Improve the description of what auto/eauto do. These two tactics rely on the simple version of apply/eapply. Since this simple version is available to the end user, it is better to mention it. See also the confusion that such description can create in the thread "Understanding auto" on Coq-Club. --- doc/refman/RefMan-tac.tex | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/refman/RefMan-tac.tex b/doc/refman/RefMan-tac.tex index 5eb8cedd95..fc6d9c143c 100644 --- a/doc/refman/RefMan-tac.tex +++ b/doc/refman/RefMan-tac.tex @@ -3513,8 +3513,8 @@ intact. \texttt{auto} and \texttt{trivial} never fail.
