Hi Hongyi, try this: (describe-function 'Info-mode) You will see this in the description: 1 .. 9 Pick first ... ninth item in node=E2=80=99s menu. Every third =E2=80=98*=E2=80=99 is highlighted to help pick the right num= ber. The highlighted stars are there to help the people who like to use the keys 1..9 to navigate info manuals.
