In-Reply-To: <200306030445.h534juk24570@eel.dms.auburn.edu> (message from Luc Teirlinck on Mon, 2 Jun 2003 23:45:56 -0500 (CDT))
Luc Teirlinck <teirllm@dms.auburn.edu> noted the context:
(info)Help-M
which is used in the tutorial, *only* describes menus as
they appear in the standalone info, not as they appear in
the emacs version and the two are very different.
RMS asked:
Would you please tell me the specific differences? I scanned
through that none and did not notice anything incorrect.
The surface expressions are different depending on the value of
Info-hide-note-references
Most likely you have Info-hide-note-references's value set to nil.
However, the default is to set Info-hide-note-references to t
*If non-nil, hide the tag and section reference in *note and * menu items.
Also replaces the "*note" text with "see".
If value is non-nil but not t, the reference section is still shown.
When you do this, using
Today's CVS snapshot, Tue, 2003 Jun 3 12:21 lisp UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.48 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
started with
/usr/local/bin/emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)'
then the menu in (info)Help-M looks like this.
* Menu:
* Foo A node you can visit for fun.
* Bar We have made two ways to get to the same place.
* Help-FOO And yet another!
But when Info-hide-note-references is set to nil, as it was in the old
days by default, the menu looks like this:
* Menu:
* Foo: Help-FOO. A node you can visit for fun.
* Bar: Help-FOO. We have made two ways to get to the same place.
* Help-FOO:: And yet another!
I remember all this because I prefer the old format and remember when
I had to put (setq Info-hide-note-references nil) into my .emacs file.
