Do C-h i g (texinfo)example If you click on the ` of the `@verbatim': reference you indeed go there, but clicking elsewhere on the reference produces an error. Same thing for the other two references in that node: Info-follow-reference: No cross-reference named `@verbatim' Info-follow-reference: No cross-reference named `@noindent' Info-follow-reference: No cross-reference named `@code' Your patch still seems to try to guess places in the node when one follows cross-references. I believe that it would be better to give up on that, since it would use the second or third argument to @xref and friends in a way that was not intended. I believe it is OK in index menus. Sincerely, Luc.
