This menu entry should not be there. It's a bug in texinfo.txi and/or makeinfo. > Proposed solution: Just institute a convention that an index entry > should never end in a colon. The Texinfo manual already disallows such cases. But there's a need to support node names with colons (think about a manual about a C++ library, for example), so there are various hacks out there to get Info readers to have some support for that. > If it is worth while for Emacs Info to support those computer > programming language terms, it might also be worth while for the > stand-alone version to do so. True; but doing that is not easy. The stand-alone Info doesn't use regexps when it searches for specific text patterns such as the one in a menu, and the same code is used for cross-references and whatsnot. IMHO, these tricky cases should be solved by a change in the Info file format, not by hacks specific to this or that reader. _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
