Subject: Re: Info-scroll-prefer-subnodes default in Emacs.
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2003 09:26:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200306241326.h5ODQFH27392@f7.net> (raw)
In Emacs Info, `]' and `[' behave as
usual in Indices. In the stand-alone version, they do not.
That's a bug in standalone info, I'll see if anyone wants to work on it.
How do we determine reliably whether or not a node is an Index?
I do not believe that the method used by Emacs `[' and `]':
if and only if the node name contains the word "index" is reliable
enough by any means.
I agree, but I don't see any way to do any better at present.
The only real solution I can think of is to have makeinfo insert an
invisible cookie saying `this is an index' into the info file. That
wouldn't be hard.
Thanks,
k
