What does fontification have to do with quote chars? (Sorry, I could not quickly make sense of the code.) Could you explain a little? juri> I am not aware of any Info files with references without whitespace after `*Note'. Perhaps somewhere such files may exist that was generated by a program other than makeinfo, or was hand-written? I agree, the space is always there. I very much doubt there are handwritten Info files, or ones generated by something other than makeinfo/texinfmt.el, that do something different. I think it is a safe change. But keep reading. eliz> How about if we instead detect the "*Note:*" case and don't treat it as a reference? I believe this amounts to *Note:[^*] (vs. *Note:\s). I think either one is ok, it won't make any difference in practice. I slightly tend toward the latter, because it is clearer to understand "*Note: is always followed by whitespace" rather than "*Note: is followed by anything except a *" (which, in practice, is always whitespace). However, if you really think it is an issue, we can go with the former. eliz> (Also the "_Note:_" case, I think.) I don't think that one is problematic. No *. Thanks, k
