There are also other contexts where it doesn't make sense to add "see"
instead of the *note or *Note.
I have now committed a change which looks for preceeding punctuation
to determine whether it should add "See ", "see ", or nothing before
the note text. This only happens when font-lock-mode is enabled.
It also hides the "Section" part of the *note:... links to further improve
readability.
Furthermore, it hides the Section part of menu items, and replaces it by
a suitable number of spaces to properly align (previously mis-aligned)
menus and sub-menus.
I used the intangible property to make moving around in the info
buffer with normal cursor motion act sensible; consequently, I had to
bind inhibit-point-motion-hooks to t in the functions which parses the
various cross references.
IMHO, the result looks quite good. WDYT?
