Since emacs-xtra is not distributed with the Emacs manual, I think all
references to it should be inside @ifinfo. That way, someone who
reads a printed version of the Emacs manual will not wonder where to
find the (non-existent) emacs-xtra manual.
Somebody reading the Emacs manual presumably does so with the intent
of using emacs. When using Emacs, he can read emacs-xtra using Info.
He can even print out hardcopy for emacs-xtra. So things like this
should definitely _not_ be in @ifinfo.
Alternatively, change all references to emacs-xtra to use @inforef.
That would be a lot better.
However, last time when I proposed something similar (for url.texi, if
I remember well), you and Karl and Dave opposed me on this and I wound
up using a regular @xref. Did you change your mind on this or is
there a fundamental difference between emacs-xtra and url.texi?
Sincerely,
Luc.
