It seems one reason to use this format in the text with Info references is because the node name is already displayed with a space in the mode-line, e.g.: --:%%- *info* (elisp) Documentation Tips Top (1,0) (Info Narrow)--- ^ space So this format will be the same in the mode-line and in text references. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
