In the stand-alone version, they do not. That's a bug in standalone info, I'll see if anyone wants to work on it. How do we determine reliably whether or not a node is an Index? I do not believe that the method used by Emacs `[' and `]': if and only if the node name contains the word "index" is reliable enough by any means. I agree, but I don't see any way to do any better at present. The only real solution I can think of is to have makeinfo insert an invisible cookie saying `this is an index' into the info file. That wouldn't be hard. Thanks, k
