Hi all,

it seems that links to Info manuals are broken in HTML and LaTeX export
(and possibly in other backends, too).

Would it make sense to make them work, i.e., link to the official web
versions, at least for standard Info manuals, like Emacs manual, Elisp
reference or Org manual?

Best,

It is not broken for my use case.  I like the fact that 

    [[info:emacs#Top][Emacs Manual]]

is turned into

    <a href="emacs.html#Top">Emacs Manual</a>

because I generated emacs.html, elisp.html, org.html, etc. all in
my ~/public_html/ or sub-directories.  Hence 
<a href="emacs.html#Top">Emacs Manual</a>
works fine for my use case.  It is a lot faster to access GNU manuals
when they are all on local host.

Should the current behavior be the default?  Perhaps not.  I believe
makeinfo and/or texi2html generates html links pointing to the official
pages at gnu.org.  This could be the default behavior, but I hope not
the *only* behavior.  If current export code is to be changed, I would
like to see user selectable option so that I can choose to use the
current behavior.

You could probably use filters (org-export-filter-link-functions) to
point them where you want them.
