texinfo export has no targets for src blocks

texinfo export has no targets for src blocks

[Fraga, Eric]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 968 bytes --]

Hello all,

Just a heads up as I spent some time debugging a problem with export to
texinfo.  If you have a heading, say

** The model <<model>>

but also happen to have a code block

#+name: model
#+begin_src ...

exporting to texinfo, asking to refer to [[model]], creates a reference
to an non-existing target ("model") because (a) org appears to assume
that you wish to reference the src block, not the headline, and (b) the
src block (/@example/ in texinfo) is not labelled in the .texi output.
See attached minimal example.

I was actually trying to reference the headline so changed <<model>> to
<<modelsection>> and [[model]] to [[modelsection]] and everything is
fine.

Note: org-lint does not catch multiple entities/elements assigned the
same name.  I have no idea whether it should or not.  Debatable, I
guess.

Back to your normal programming.

Thank you,
eric

Thanks for reporting!
I tried to add support for #+name'd elements in ox-texinfo.
See the attached patch.

I simply prepended an @anchor to all paragraph level Org markup
elements. However, I am not 100% sure if it is always safe to do.
May you please test the patch on your side to make sure that things are
not going to be broken? (they are not on Org manual, at least)
