Accessing "Introduction to Emacs Lisp Manual" from Info within Emacs.

Accessing "Introduction to Emacs Lisp Manual" from Info within Emacs.

[uzibalqa]

How can I access "Introduction to Emacs Lisp Manual" from Info within Emacs.

Could we have something like this (elintro with el for elisp)

C-h i m elintr <Ret>

It's on the Help menu, under "More Manuals".

Alternatively, "C-h i" shows a large menu, where you should be able to
find this manual as one of the possibilities.

I can easily get the "Emacs Manual", the "Emacs Lisp Manual".  Both with 
"C-h i m" .  So way skip "Emacs Lisp Intro".  

I do not have to search for the two aforementioned manuals, so let's not
have users search for "Emacs Lisp Intro" either.

This is my suggestion

C-h i m elintr <Ret>
 
Furthermore, please note that after calling 'm' users cannot input strings
with spaces for "Emacs Lisp Intro".

We have a better one: "C-h i m Emacs Lisp Intro RET"

They can in my Emacs.

This also works:

g, then at the prompt: (eintr) RET

But you have to know the file name is "eintr" (not "elintr").

I must have been in some other mode rather than "Info (dir)Top".

Managed to get it to work.  It would be quicker to forego the need 
for parentheses when using "g".

Without the parentheses `g' only recognizes nodes in the current Info
file.  The parentheses are needed to jump to a different Info file, and
you can add a node name after the parentheses; omitting the node name
sends you to the top-level node of the file named in the parentheses.

If I am in Info (dir)Top, why not allow me using "g" without the parentheses.
After all, why require users to know the different info file names.  I do not see
it easy to find the list of info files directly from "The Info Directory" (dir)Top.

All these things are not self evident for newbies, who want to view the manuals.
And I do not see an Intro for newbies on how to use Info within Emacs to view manuals.

Perhaps there can be a categorisation of Info File Names that can be perused ?

You are not supposed to use 'g' in this situation.

You have taken the least useful response to your questions and
disregarded all the rest.  The other responses would allow you to find
this manual much easier, without all the weird quirks that the 'g'
command requires.  Using 'g' for going to another manual is considered
"advanced usage" of Info, so it uses tricky syntax, and newbies are
well advised to stay away.

Nodes are not categorised when scrolling down Info (dir)Top and reaching Emacs.
All Emacs nodes huddled together.

Going to another manual should not be "advanced usage".  Newbies would 
want to be able to go to a different manual.  It would be neat to have 
the ability to use completion for the different manuals available on the\
system and also have it as a help feature.

Which is exactly the categorization that we want to have there, to
make it easier for users to find Emacs-related items.

That's NOT what I said, please don't misquote!  I said that going to
another manual _using_the_'g'_command_ is advanced usage.  The usual
way to go to another manual, which is recommended to users, is either
via the DIR menu (to which you can go by pressing 'd'), or "C-h R",
which prompts for the manual.

Both 'm' in the DIR node and "C-h R" provide completion, so we already
have that.

Am not objecting to having Emacs-related items together.  The suggestion is
to sub-categorise the different Emacs-related items under the Emacs Heading.

Obviously, some are basic (e.g. emacs and elisp manuals), others are about 
special modes (CC, Octave, Org), whilst others are much more advanced (mail
systems and other interfaces).

They are not.  What I showed was my suggestion to visually display some form of 
categorisation.

Yes, they are: look at the file DIR that comes with Emacs.

I am using GNU Emacs 29.0.50 and there exists no categorisation once
you get to the Emacs parts.
