Hello, Recently, Karl Berry pointed me to the DEL[1] trick for protecting problematic anchor names in Info. I have a couple of suggestions and (probably) a bug report.
1. The node "Info Format Regular Nodes" points back to "Node Line Requirements" in the manual, which is a good thing. Conversely, I think it would be good if that node had a mention of the trick in question. There's only a mention of avoiding the warnings, so it's not clear that a workaround exists at all. 2. I also suggests that when you call makeinfo with INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_QUOTE set, INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING is automatically turned off. It is pointless to get this warning when basically, you know what you're doing. 3. Finally, I did a quick test of this feature (test file attached), and it seems to work fine with Texinfo 6.6, except for menus. The weird node is not clickable in the menu. Apart from that, it seems that the current Info mode in Emacs is unaware of this feature, but I guess that's not your problem ;-)
