@appendix Buffer-Local Variables
@c The title "Standard Buffer-Local Variables" is too long for

@cindex standard buffer-local variables

  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.

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