Is there also a way to annotate info files such that I add my own little notes along the way in a browsable or at least visible fashion from within the Info file? Thanks in advance! While doing `e' in an *info* buffer and installing ipa.el are something to look into, Bookmarks is part of Emacs and does a simple job in a single separate .emacs.bmk file, or as many .bmk files as you'd like to have. Bookmarks may also be annotated. I'm interested in why ipa.el is preferable to Bookmarks.
