[BTW: on the same > file.info, Emacs 21.3 says much the same: "No such anchor in tag table or > node in tag table or file: Sample".] The problem here is with your usage of Texinfo: node names cannot contain periods. The Texinfo manual says: * Unfortunately, you cannot use periods, commas, colons or parentheses within a node name; these confuse the Texinfo processors. Perhaps this limitation will be removed some day, too. So there you are: don't do that ;-)
