>From `(texinfo)makeinfo options':
`--no-warn'
Suppress warning messages (but _not_ error messages). You might
want this if the file you are creating has examples of Texinfo
cross references within it, and the nodes that are referenced do
not actually exist.
This might seem to suggest that the throwing of an error because of an
xref pointing nowhere is unintentional.
One can produce an info file with xrefs pointing nowhere (without
using --force) using:
`--no-pointer-validate'
`--no-validate'
Suppress the pointer-validation phase of `makeinfo'. This can also
be done with the `@novalidate' command (*note Use TeX: Use TeX.).
Normally, after a Texinfo file is processed, some consistency
checks are made to ensure that cross references can be resolved,
But this seems like a dangerous thing to use, because one better be
sure that there are no involuntary errors in addition to the voluntary
ones.
Sincerely,
Luc.
