Hey, I think this is a great idea: replace the "(emacs)Title" syntax with a URL. When passed to Info, these URL would be redirected to the local Info pages. The main downside is that those URLs would take up more space. But the upside is not just greater exposure of our HTML manuals to search engines, but also the removal of the ad-hoc (info "(emacs)Title") syntax. Stefan
