If you look in the emacs-* files with a pager, you will see that a @pxref with more than one argument always ends in a period, no matter if it's the in the same or another manual. _______________________________________________ Texinfo home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ bug-texinfo@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
