I don't think I understand what you mean here. What does "busy_beaver(3)" signify in your example? a reference to a man page or a reference to the 3rd footnote? > > You can file an Emacs bug report about this, if you want a way to turn > > it off, or if you think unrelated numbers in parens should never > > generate a link on display. > > I guess I should, but that means that info is not very useful for viewing > sage documentation right now.
