(a) The stand-alone Info doesn't use regular expressions to parse
references;
Sure, we would have do it by hand in Info. We do it by hand now in
the other direction.
(b) You could have more than one colon in a row (happens a lot in C++,
for example).
Sorry, I don't see the problem.
* foo::bar: nodename.
will still get parsed correctly, seems to me. The .* will swallow
everything up to the very last : ... as long as the nodename does not
have any colons in it.
^\* (.*)( <[0-9]>*)?:[ \t]*(.*)\.$
The possibility of parsing references from the end was raised in the past
(IIRC). It works better in some cases, but fails in others.
Specifically?
Thanks,
