I cannot reproduce this: when I follow those 2 references, I land on the definition of 'nth'. I tried Emacs 26.0.90 and the current release branch, and the Info files produced both for 26.0.90 and the current branch. Is it possible that the Info files you have installed have DOS CR-LF EOLs? (If they do, you will see it in the mode line, where the EOL format indicator is shown.) If so, they were produced incorrectly, and to fix them, you need to convert them to Unix EOL format. > This is a regression introduced in Emacs 24. In Emacs 23 those links > take you to the description of function `nth' in node `List Elements'. Emacs was changed to adapt to how the latest Texinfo versions produce Info files on MS-Windows. Maybe your Info files were produced by an old version of makeinfo, and that no longer fits what Emacs expects.
