Subject: changes on “info” function in emacs 23
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 16:26:21 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <80e8da53-ef71-47fc-b7b5-73d817414605@d4g2000prc.googlegroups.com> (raw)

in emacs 22, when in info inside emacs, if i press “c”, i get the node
info in my kill ring, for example:

(elisp)System Environment

But in emacs 23, i get:

(elisp) System Environment

is there any explanation or doc about this change? I don't see it in
the NEWS file.

this seems important to me because programatically, i can do eval in
elisp:

(info "(elisp) System Environment")

to get emacs to display the node.
It still works with or without the space, but would like to read about
this change.

thanks.
