> Attached is a new version of that patch with following changes:
> 
> - Let Info-url-for-node skip whitespace and newlines between closing
>   parenthesis and node-name. This mimics Texinfo as can be traced here:

> 
>   It also makes Info-url-for-node work with the string that is put into
>   kill-ring with the Info-copy-current-node-name command which uses a
>   whitespace.
> 
> - Do not use a .html suffix, neither in the default value for the new
>   Info-url-alist, nor in the %e format-thing that can be in user-defined
>   values of it. Users still can add a ".html" suffix themselves, if the
>   respective web-server does not support omitting it.
> 
> - More tests, including manuals in all relevant directories and formats
>   and "special" characters.

Thanks, installed on the master branch, and closing the bug.
