Subject: bug#44043: Info Files Showing "see" or "*note" when using @ref in source
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2020 12:47:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-dc6f3d64-e623-46f7-9c79-28338bec6515-1602931637626@3c-app-mailcom-bs14> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <831rhxuxco.fsf@gnu.org>

The Emacs Manual does not mention hide so did not try it.  Now
that I have, the problem is resolved.  The Emacs Manual needs
to be updated as the option is not described. It only describes
"t" and "nil". Here are the sections concerned:

1.5 Invisible text in Emacs Info
1.7 Following Cross-References
2.6 Emacs Info-mode Variables

Using M-x describe-variable <Ret> Info-hide-note-references,
although if would help with an improved documentation.  I can
send an update to the documentation myself as I am currently
doing some documentation work in ELisp myself, and can have
a look at the manual.

Regards
Christopher
