Can someone aim me at the section that describes the format of those URL type citations of the m? I am not sure about a reference to that, but maybe you mean things like this -- (info "(cl)Assertions") -- which can be evaluated inside Emacs and will start info in the ``cl'' section, in the subsection ``Assertions,'' for instance. It is sort of an odd syntax, I suppose.
