Actually, [^:*] is as incompatible as whitespace. There may exist some imaginable Info files with non-standard references with : or * after `*Note' as a separator between `*Note' and node name. So [^:*] is not better than whitespace. However, whitespace is better for Info files generated by makeinfo. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
