Subject: How to get an item into info menu?
Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2005 15:27:11 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cr93sf$1nh$1@reader1.panix.com> (raw)
I have the info files for "Introduction to Programming in Emacs
Lisp" but no matter where I put those files, the corresponding menu
item (* Emacs Lisp Intro: (eintr).) never shows on the top menu
when I do C-h i in Emacs. In every attempt I have placed the
file(s) in a directory mentioned in Info-default-directory-list.
I have tried both the single info file emacs-lisp-intro.info.gz
(from gnu.org) as well as the separate eintr*.gz files generated
by makeinfo and gzip from the contents of emacs-lisp-intro-texi.tar
(also from gnu.org).
Where's the documentation on how to do this? I've looked everywhere.
Many thanks!
bill
P.S. In fact, searching in Info for the word "Info-default-directory-list"
yields nothing. (It is ironic that the documentation system itself
is so poorly documented. It's just like in the Spanish proverb
"In the blacksmith's house, wooden knife".)
