If gendocs.sh is contradicting the Texinfo manual and the code in makeinfo, I'd suggest to fix gendocs.sh. > > I think Texinfo currently doesn't support such a feature. > > Partially, it does. I mean @uref and the like. @uref is a different feature, since it can reference _any_ document. We were talking about @xref and its ilk, which are cross-references to other Texinfo manuals. > Perhaps so... But we are already hardcoding many similar things in the > docs.

If you want a command whose effect is position-dependent, you could already use @value, can't you? It has an advantage that you can control the value from the command line as well. > > It would be also nice to figure out a convenient way of specifying > > different prefix URLs for different manuals referenced from the > > document that is processed.

Their solution sounds better than yours, since there will be a single place where such things are defined.
