[BUG] org-texinfo-compile docstring sentence ends abruptly

[BUG] org-texinfo-compile docstring sentence ends abruptly

[Niall Dooley]

The `org-texinfo-compile' docstring contains the following sentence which ends
abruptly.

"Processing is done through the command specified in `org-texinfo-info-process',
which see."

I think it is sufficient to remove the "which see" at the end.

Thanks for Org and your time.

I think this is just the English incarnation of the customary Latin
"q.v." [1], which in printed text used to denote a "link" (well,
something you could look up in the index, so printed text's most
close cousin to a link). That usage would be "vintage", but correct.

Cheers

... and it is used all over Emacs docstrings.

Canceled.
