Do: emacs -q C-h i g (elisp)nil and t Where we see: symbol whose name starts with a colon (`:'). See Constant Variables. Putting point on `Variables' gives the error message: Info-follow-reference: No cross-reference named Constant Variables In other words, the newline gets wrongly considered to be a part of the node name. I do not believe that this problem can be more than a few days old. (I believe that I would have noticed it before otherwise.) With point in the "See Constant" part things work fine. Sincerely, Luc.
