Re: eshell manual: texinfo question

[Jean-Christophe Helary <brandelune@gmail.com>]

Gregor,

You need to send this to the texinfo dev list. It is not an emacs issue.

The best way to deal with that is to change texinfo so that the output does not add arbitrary English strings to the links/references. Those should be added by the author (it's also l10n best practice).
