Hi emacs users,

the eshell.text file as of current emacs master contains the
following paragraph:


The command can be either an Elisp function or an external command.
Eshell looks first for an @ref{Aliases, alias} with the same name as the
command, then a @ref{Built-ins, built-in command} or a function with the
same name; if there is no match, it then tries to execute it as an
external command.


With makeinfo version 6.3 this renders nicely in html:

[-- Attachment #2: eshell.html.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 15938 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 25 bytes --]


but not so nice in pdf:

[-- Attachment #4: eshell.pdf.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 6571 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #5: Type: text/plain, Size: 18 bytes --]


and not in info:

[-- Attachment #6: eshell.info.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 14579 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #7: Type: text/plain, Size: 424 bytes --]



I changed this paragraph with the help of texinfo-insert-dwim-@ref to:


The command can be either an Elisp function or an external command.
Eshell looks first for an alias (@pxref{Aliases}) with the same name as the
command, then a built-in (@pxref{Built-ins}) or a function with the
same name; if there is no match, it then tries to execute it as an
external command.


Now this renders nicely (if a bit heavy) in html:

[-- Attachment #8: eshell-patched.html.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 10856 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #9: Type: text/plain, Size: 22 bytes --]


even heavier in pdf:

[-- Attachment #10: eshell-patched.pdf.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 6778 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #11: Type: text/plain, Size: 42 bytes --]


but in info the second "see" is missing:

[-- Attachment #12: eshell-patched.info.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 15083 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #13: Type: text/plain, Size: 318 bytes --]



I also played with further with 'online-label' and
'printed-label' as described in the manual, but this did not hel
either.  I'm mostly interested in the info output, but for files
distributed with Emacs it should look good in all output formats.


Any ideas, what to do in order to fix this issue?



Ciao; Gregor
