This is obviously true. My point was different. If you need to choose a default backend in info mode, xref-eslips is more useful than xref-etags which is the current default. If you set a tag table, it will be for one language (at least one location). How does it help you reading glibc, Gawk, GDB, Make, Guile ...? Vitalie
