info+.el Lisp error

info+.el Lisp error

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hi all (and Drew in particular),

I'm using since a long time `info+.el' which is great when
reading help manuals, as it fontifies much more than the default
(and maybe does other things I'm not yet aware of).

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'info+)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, since some time (maybe since the last update [¹] - not
sure), the function `Info-index' (hitting the key `i') does not
work anymore and returns me the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function Info-clone-buffer-hook)
  Info-clone-buffer-hook()
  run-hooks(clone-buffer-hook)
  clone-buffer()
  (let ((completion-ignore-case t) (Info-complete-menu-buffer ...) (Info-complete-nodes ...) (Info-history-list nil)) (if (equal Info-current-file "dir") (error "The Info directory node has no index; use m to select a manual")) (unwind-protect (with-current-buffer Info-complete-menu-buffer ... ...) (kill-buffer Info-complete-menu-buffer)))
  (list (let (... ... ... ...) (if ... ...) (unwind-protect ... ...)))
  call-interactively(Info-index nil nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Anyone can help?

Best regards,
  Seb

Hi Sebastien,

Should be OK now; please try the latest version.

What version of Emacs are you using? I suspect you're using a development
version (CVS). They changed Info-clone-buffer-hook to Info-clone-buffer
recently for Emacs 22.1.90. I forgot to upload the fix.

It's hard to keep up and keep it working for all Emacs versions. I usually
fix things such as that after a new release is out, but let me know if other
things break in the development version.

Thx - Drew

Yep. It is. Solved!

I'm using the Ubuntu package provided to the community by
Alexandre Vassolotti:

    GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0)
    of 2007-12-30 on iridium

See http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs/.

I can imagine.

Thank you very much for such a quick reaction!!


BTW, hitting `i' does open an entry of the manual where our
search term was found, but it does not open it on the line where
the match is found, neither does it highlight it.

Are such things possible, which would render the whole even much
more usable?

Thanks,
  Seb

Seb - Please suggest that to the Emacs developers: emacs-devel@gnu.org.
