@appendix Buffer-Local Variables
@c The title "Standard Buffer-Local Variables" is too long for
@c smallbook. --rjc 30mar92

  The table below lists the general-purpose Emacs variables that
automatically become buffer-local in each buffer.  Most become
buffer-local only when set; a few of them are always local in every
buffer.  Many Lisp packages define such variables for their internal
use, but we don't try to list them all here.

Each minor modes defines a buffer-local variable named
@samp{@var{modename}-mode}.  @xref{Minor Mode Conventions}.  Minor
mode variables will not be listed here.
