The problem with this is that you'd like the Info reader to display `colon' as `:', otherwise it would confuse users, I think. (They type "i foo::bar RET", but the echo area says "Found FOOcoloncolonBAR in Class Index".) This complicates the display routines of the reader. Also, we will need to invent a ``translation'' like that for every special character we now disallow in menus and indices. _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
